By focusing on postmodern elements, this research investigates the lives of immigrants who came from South Asia and Syria, as well as the major challenges these immigrants encounter in adapting to American culture. Immigrants face problems such as a yearning for home, trying to find a sense of belonging in a new land and a sense of displacement. They are also confronted by additional challenges while trying to navigate postmodern American culture.

The use of cognitive poetics in teaching literature in the classroom is the main area that is studied in this research and the researchers intend to find out if this approach could assist teachers in teaching this subject to facilitate students' understanding of literary texts. This paper would like to shed findings on the common approaches that teachers used to garner students' interests in studying literary works. The implication of this research is to answer the questions whether the common approaches used by the teachers lead to the declining interest in the subject among students.
