Literature serves as a tool to express one's self as well as to shape other people's minds and actions.


Literature is defined as written works such as novels and poems, which are considered of lasting importance. It provides entertainment to its readers as well as an improved critical thinking skills. It often leads its readers to a variety of experiences which the readers have not yet endured in the reality. Due to this, a reader can learn things about life without much experience. Literature provides truths and ideas which are often important to know. Furthermore, it enables people to record their thoughts and experiences, which makes it more interesting. Why? Think of figuring out the meaning of a heartbreaking poem. Isn't it intriguing to know what happened to the poet for him/her to write a beautiful but heartbreaking poem?

Now, imagine living life without it. Without books to read, poems to relate to, lyrics of the songs to sing with friends, how can life be entertaining? Life would be dull and colorless without literature. Life would be boring. Literature is also a form of art. This form of art enables people to escape their lives for a moment, and leads them to another world. Without it, life would be incomplete. Life would be hell.
