TALES

Tales can be referred to an imaginary writing. Tales are mostly created to present values that underlies within its writing. It was written during its days to teach as there was no formal education in those days, therefore, such message of values most conveniently spread through writings and it proves as most of the tales still being read today in the 21st century. Today, tales may be considered as a child’s reading but the fact that tales that were created suits everyone. Personally, what is interesting about tales; it actually reflect life some actually present ‘universal’ cultures and norms. ‘Universal’ because most tales are created and involve imagination, but the values they present are universal; applied even today.Another value of tales in education purposes will be its own value in writing. Some tales may be out of the world but still make sense and the issues or values are visible. Tales are special for the ideas of creating such writing by combining imagination and at the same time appears to be realistic. The values are realistic but the tales may be about fairies from imagined world or more on the extraterrestrial. It is unique. I would say that tales may seem to be unrealistic but the creativity in the way of presenting ideas or messages should be given credits. For education it would not only be for its values but also its aesthetic writing that would allow students to creatively apply the language not only in writing. In terms of reading proficiency, tales allow students to actually experience something else that could mesmerize their minds rather than reading the text book.
