Interpretive Fiction or Escapist Fiction

Interpretive Literature or Escapist Fiction -- which should be studied in the English classroom?  Today is your chance to express your thoughts.  We have looked at two novels now -- one a modern classic and the other... modern.  Which type of novel should we be studying?  Which type of novel do students get the most from?  Is there any merit to the idea of "cultural literacy"?  You be the judge.

Express your thoughts in a cogent, well reasoned, multi-paragraph post.  As always, obey the conventions of language (this is English class).  Please also take the time to make appropriate comments on two of your classmates' posts.
