How literature shape me?

How literature shape me?
During the five years of the journey of English literature especially in M.A English I learnt many things from literature. The first thing is literature teaches me life learning lessons through the different texts. Literature is not about the story or themes, symbols, narrative structures, but it is how difficult situation came and how we can react it or what we learn from situation and how literature help me to find way out from the situation. Literature’s most important function is when time comes, literature is really helpful to us or not? When time comes and literature do not help us then it is merely studying and remembering and get good marks in exams. But actual learning is not happen during difficult time.
                                       Literature taught me whatever knowledge given to us we have to ask questions? Whatever is told to us we can’t rely on that. We have to cultivate habit of fact-checks.

To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

‘’One that needs, above all, courage, truth, and the power to endure’’ quote from To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf




Literature taught me from above quotes from literary texts. Literature helps me shaping my ideas about life, language, positive attitude towards life. Literature always inspires me. Literature gives wider sense of politics being played in the society. How language is used to manipulate things and overpower us by any form. Literature gives me broader sense of world. Literature helps me to widen horizon of my thought. Literature gives the historical sense of past as well as contemporary time. Literature taught me universality of text and text have to pass test of time.
