The observed school grades were: ninth grade and eleventh grade (four students in each class). Besides the observation, it was done an analysis of documents of the teaching plans from the observed teacher, and finally, the final report based on analysis of collected data that reveal a misguided approach of literary texts by school, which sometimes, leads the work with this type of texts to an utilitarian work, disregarding their peculiarities. Now, the literary text is particularly polysemic, symbolic, and allegorical and it must be read. Therefore, teachers must know this language and from it, lead their students to a complete reading.
