Studying literature helps us learn how to learn. Most authors have an underlying message when writing, even when writing novels for our reading pleasure. Sometimes these messages are not as obvious as other times and we have to learn how to look for the "message." It may be a lesson of life, a forewarning of the future, a history lesson, or just the author's opinion or viewpoint of a situation. But, in order to understand it, we have to first learn how to comprehend it.
