Reading literature is like looking a painting or a mural. It is seeing beyond

one ‘s eyes. In paintings, we find meanings as interpreted by the artist. The artist
has a way of interpreting his subject. This is the role of literature. It is to make the
reader interpret and imagine what he is reading and to identify himself with it. By
a skillful used of language, the writer places realism and uniqueness in his stories,
poems or essays, as if making the reader feel as if he has experienced it in his life.
