The value of literature

The value of learning literature in English class is variable.

First, learning English can help to understand the history and learn the culture. Like “The boy in striped pajamas” or “The reader”, those books tell the audiences about the truth of the holocaust and even more about the moral, the law and the society. By learning form the literature works, we learn from the history and learn how to prevent some bad crimes that used to happen.

Second, learning English literacy can help to know how to enjoy the the beauty of words. I think everyone should have the experience of being inspired or moved by a poem or an essay. When reading this kind of works, we cannot stop appreciating how amazing and perfect nature and the human nature are. From my own experience, I enjoy reading and English literature because I feel the emotion and passion in the authors' words. 

Moreover, literature teaches the method of thinking while showing the audiences the authors' thinking paths. By seeing others' view, we actually open our mind to develop our weltanschauung.
