Do you like English Literature?

 

‘Do you like literature?’ I asked a disinterested student.

‘No’ replied the student.

‘Why?’ I asked.

‘I don’t like literature.’

‘Do you like stories?’

‘Yes.’

‘What kind?’

‘Magic.  Harry Potter.’

Maybe the student was just saying that.  But he may have had a point.  Teach stories, not fiction with an axe to grind.  That’s dull.
