I don't think that E-Lit should not become a part of classroom literature for many reasons. Of the many reasons, the most prevalent is although E-literature is a for a literature, there are many elements of E-Lit that vary from traditional print literature that make a difference. For example, E-Lit sometimes have sound or visual aspects that aren't found in print. Sound and visual elements make for a totally different experience in literature. Furthermore, it is in my opinion that since the rise of popular television shows, people have lost the desire to read simply for entertainment purposes. In other words, reality TV has replaced the desire to and need to read for entertainment.
Also, the argument that says young creative writers to try this kind of writing must see it has broader audience does not lend necessity to this genre of literature. In order for students and people to see E-Lit for its aesthetic value, these people must find its usefulness. When that happens, then it can be introduced to schools as a separate genre that may enhance the reading experience. From there, the opportunity for E-Lit to prosper can present itself.
