It commonly refers
to works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, nonfiction, journalism, and
in some instances, song. Through literature people can share ideas, give advice, give the reader a
glimpse of a certain period in history, or give a peek into the mind and thoughts of various
personality types.
Literature is an opportunity for us to see ourselves in literary characters. What causes them to
react, what motivates them, also motivates us; that is because even though settings may change,
human nature does not. Though his characters are fictitious, we learn about what it must have
been like to live during that time. Literature offers a chance to experience times and places which
are quite different from our own. Outside of that, literature offers an escape: from life. Similar to
a movie, a book will transport the reader to a place far away from where they are. A vacation of
the mind is what some people need to recharge.
