Q

What is the Importance Of Literature?

A

Literature molds man as a total human being, sympathetic, aware and
sensitive. It educates and entertains. When we read literature, we are
informed of events that beset our environment and the fictitious characters
and colorful events amuse us.
Literature leads us to understand the life of man. It is important to us
because it speaks to us and it affects us. Even when literature is seemingly
ugly, it is still beautiful. It enlivens human interest, enriches and colors our
imagination. It is an expression of thought, feeling, emotions and attitudes
towards life. It shapes our minds that make us changed individuals.
Literature shapes man not only as nurses, engineers, accountants, teachers,
doctors, computer specialists, information technologists, etc. but as man, his
personality, as well as his views and ideas, count.
