Reading, comprehending, and making a critical judgment of a literary work's topic, style, use of figurative and non-figurative language, and other features is referred to as literary appreciation. Literary appreciation is important because it is how we understand ideas and information presented in books. It helps us learn about different people from different places at different times. It also helps us understand how certain events have influenced society over time. Literary appreciation is not only important in terms of understanding history but also in terms of learning history. For example, if someone was studying ancient Rome alone, they might not know that the Roman army made up a large part of the total number of deaths in World War I. This is because they wouldn't have known how to interpret the data given in history textbooks. But by reading historical novels, this person would be able to make connections between the two things that might not have been apparent before. Learning with literature is similar to learning with history - by comparing what happens in one story to what has happened before or after in others, you begin to see patterns in life's events that help you understand why they occurred when they did. Literary appreciation is also important for personal enjoyment.
