What qualities do you think a great work of literature should have
I think that a great work of literature should be interesting to many people from different countries and cultures. It should be about themes that most people can understand and enjoy. The writing should be creative enough to stir readers' imagination. A great work of literature should stand the test of time so that it can still be enjoyed by people in years to come.
What are some of the benefits of reading literature
Reading literature helps us learn more about our own and other cultures. The power of the words used in literature allows us to experience imaginary situations. Another benefit is that by reading between the lines every reader interprets a piece of literature differently, making it a good topic for discussion.
