Reading literary pieces of the 21st century calls for a competency not only in reading
skills but likewise so much more in thinking skills in the higher order then advancing on the
use of technology. Creativity has gone far and further that computer age has dominated
literature and transformed literary pieces to filmmaking. Gone are the printed literature, all
awaits its day to come out from the shelves, to be read, to be analysed then be transformed to
the works of electronic devices. Film making is now the idea behind the reading.

Film making skill prompts the reader to retrieve information from the text, find clues
and read between lines, identify the features of a structure of a text, and comments on an
author's choice of language. Still, knowing and identifying the literary genres, elements,
structures and traditions in a story are considered railroads to help or guide the reader achieve
thinking skills in the higher order and advance in the use of electonic technology.

2
 Communication in the computer age is then enhanced. Classic and modern ideas and
principles are shared and learned and fused at a snap of a finger as one keys in the “enter” in
the keyboard. Literature has paved its way alongside the dominance of the computer to human.
And literature progresses to becoming the language of computer age achieving understanding
and appreciation to written pieces then and now.

What’s In

Module 5 has made clear to us what it takes to understanding and appreciating text
through enhancing skill. Compare and contrast, as one device to literary analysis, has further
thought us to be a bit comprehensive in learning the different literary genres, elements, and
structure in various medium of development as time progresses to a life in the future. Computer
technology has challenged one’s learning skill in all aspects and the thinking skill prompts
what’s after 21st century becomes of.

Let us try this. State the elements of a story in a book, in a stage show and in the movies.

What you think gives the better medium to understand and appreciate the text?

What’s New
One 21st century literature is speculative fiction, a literary “super genre,” which
encompasses a number of different genres of fiction, each with speculative elements that are
based on conjecture and do not exist in the real world . “Coraline” is an excerpt from a novel
written by Neil Gaiman, an extraordinarily imaginative English writer who works in a variety
of formats, writing graphic novels (or, book-length comics), short stories, novels,
children'sbooks, and scripts for television and films.

Coraline
(Excerpt)
by Neil Gaiman

It sounded like her mother, Coraline went into the kitchen, where the voice had come
from. A woman stood in the kitchen with her back to Coraline. She looked a little like
Coraline’s mother. Only ….

Only her skin was white as paper.

Only she was taller and thinner.

Only her fingers were too long, and they never stopped moving, and her dark red
fingernails were curved and sharp.

“Coraline?” the woman said. “Is that you?”

And then she turned around. Her eyes were big black buttons.

“Lunchtime, Coraline,” said the woman.

“Who are you?” asked Coraline.

“I’m your other mother,” said the woman. “Go and tell your other father that lunch is
ready,” She opened the door of the oven, Suddenly Coraline realized how hungry she was. It
smelled wonderful, “Well, go on.”
4
 Coraline went down the hall, to where her father’s study was. She opened the door.
There was a man in there, sitting at the keyboard, with his back to her. “Hello,” said Coraline.
“I – I mean, she said to say that lunch is ready.”

The man turned around.

His eyes were buttons, big and black and shinny.

“Hello Coraline,” he said. “I’m starving.”

He got up and went with her into the kitchen. They sat at the kitchen table, and
Coraline’s other mother brought them lunch. A huge, golden-brown roasted chicken, fried
potatoes, tiny green peas, Coraline shoveled the food into her mouth. It tasted wonderful.

“We’ve been waiting for you for a long time, “ said Coraline’s other father.

“for me?”

“Yes,” said the other mother. “ “It wasn’t the same here without you. But we knew
you’d arrive one day, and then we could be a proper family. Would you like some more
chicken?”

It was the best chicken that Coraline had ever eaten. Her mother sometimes made
chicken, but it was always out of packets or frozen, and was very dry, and it never tasted of
anything. When Coraline’s father cooked chicken he bought real chicken, but he did strange
things to it, like stewing it in wine, or stuffing it with prunes, or baking it in pastry, and Coraline
would always refuse to touch it on principle.

She took some more chicken.

“I didn’t know I had amother mother,” said Coraline, cautiously.

“Of course you do. Everyone does,” said the other mother, her black button eyes
gleaming. “After lunch I thought you might like to play in your room with the rats.”

“The rats?”

“from upstair,”

Coraline had never seen a rat, except on television. She was quite looking forward to
it. This was turning out to be a very interesting day after all.
