WHY STUDY LITERATURE?
“Literature” is a broad term, but most people define it as writing with lasting artistic, cultural, and/or intellectual
value. Literature includes ancient Greek plays, James Baldwin’s essays, and Charlotte Bronte’s novels. This type of
writing deals with complex issues and ideas, encouraging readers to entertain new ways of thinking.

#8. Literature encourages critical thinking
Critical thinking is essential for life. It allows people to work through problems and determine what’s true.
Reading literature provides the perfect opportunity for building critical thinking skills. A reader has to pick up on
details, make connections, and form their own opinions on what’s going on in the book. Teachers frequently use
literature to help their students develop strong critical thinking. It helps them understand the material better and
gives them tools to use in their future careers.
