Week 4, Post #1

We study literature because it allows a person to immerse themselves in another world. Whether a book is fact or fiction, the reader is able to live vicariously through the characters of a book. Studying literature allows a reader to learn about things they haven't seen. It allows a person to gain knowledge about secrets of history or it may enlighten that same person to ideas about friendship, problem-solving, or anything else.
We study literature to gain knowledge.
