Overall Reflection Of Language Arts

I learnt that what i learnt in primary school, English and what i am learning in secondary school, Language Arts, are almost of two different things...

English was about grammar, about vocabulary, about how you use words to make and sentence and use the sentence to make a whole paragraph... Maybe a story in composition, maybe a letter in situational writing, but when it comes to Language Arts...

The feeling about learning new words and other things are totally different.
English have now became a piece of art, either presented in a song, or a poem.. Etc.
English is not just for language, not just for communication, but it is a form of art. Communication through English is ONE THING, the rest are history...

In English, there are storybooks. These stories involves your imagination, it requires thought about how the story is going to be in the end. It might affect your emotions, making you feel different about the stories process... At one moment you might be glad that the author or the main character is still fine, the next moment you might feel anxious of what might happen to the main character and other dangers he might face... It is like putting you in the author's or the main character's shoes in the first person's point of view...

In English, there are songs. There are lovely, sad, exciting, romantic, joyful and other types of songs. Songs maybe classified in rock, pop, classical or other types too. There might be other languages of song, but I enjoy English songs the most. They can really change your emotions... Making you feel different, the lyrics are there to convey a message, to say something about life, or to make you feel that you have the same opinion as the author of the song.

In English, there are poems. Poems are of different length and types. Some talks about rivalry, love, friendship. Some talks about economic, finance, families. And they all come down to the same conclusion: Life. True poems talk about life, all the examples i stated talks about life, how rivalry can become revenge, how love can become hatred and how friendship should be cherished with all the love you could give to a friend...

In conclusion, English in secondary school is no longer about words, grammer, vocabulary, stories, more words and more words, on and on non-stop. But instead, it is about art, it is a new thing overall to me, new experience, and thinking that English is art makes me feel more interested in English and makes me want to learn more about art, in English...
