what does literature teach us
Literature allows us to empathize the emotions, situations and hardships of the characters. When the author uses textual strategies and appropriate uses of language and wording, it allows the reader to really get sucked into the book and give them a better understanding and ability to relate. Zoraiz.
Literature is one way for us to hear the voices of the past and work with the present. It is a way for the present to connect to the possible future. Story telling is one way for humans to reach out to other humans. It is therapy, confession, entertainment, and knowledge all in one.
