~old text, new text~

Do we need to learn old literary text? In my opinion we should learn it as we can vary our knowledge of literature. In past lesson, I got to understand an old version of literary text which entitles Daedalus and Icarus. It was an interesting story but make myself confuse the first time I read it. However, I gain the opportunity to learn new thing which were I learn old English language and the way ancient writer wrote their story. It made me realized that literature has come along with culture and society around the world and literature is the one who made a society been remembered until now. So, learned old text is a good opportunity for me as it teaches me to appreciate something. For instance, the story Daedalus and Icarus made me know the way ancient people belief and way of life as in the story stated that they belief to their king and think that people who can fly is a god. As a conclusion, I would like to stress here, read as many as literary text that you can and choose that can attract your interest because they can give something in your life.
