RE:
what are the functions of literature?
Escaping into the world created by a good book has got to be one of the most satisfying experiences one can have–what a great way to step outside one’s own space and time! I also believe that by studying literature, whether it’s “old” or “new,” we give ourselves the chance to encounter those familiar and unfamiliar events and those personal, frequently ethical, dilemmas, that shape human experience and human decision-making. In our modern, visual culture, we might think that leisure reading is fast becoming an unnecessary activity, but I don’t agree. My own experience and those of my students teach me that literature is valuable, not because it provides us with answers to the challenges of life, but because it helps us to formulate the questions we should ask–indeed, we must ask, if we are to make wise choices as individuals and as human societies. Literature gives us a window on the worlds and cultures of authors who, like us, experienced or experience life’s richness and pain, but who, perhaps unlike us, have noticed the moments we overlook in our hurry to move on. Reading literature won’t by itself make you a better person; by itself, it certainly won’t get you a job. But it can help you to acquire a habit of observation, a sensitivity to the unsaid but implied, an ability to step outside of your own perspective to understand the perceptions of others. And these skills will help you to get you a job–and to advance once you have that job–because the abilities to analyze complex situations, to communicate with and to understand others, and to think creatively are valued by employers. Reading literature for its challenges and consolations is not just a pasttime, but an activity that will serve you well in any job, including life itself. End of sermon!

It advance the survival of living human kind on planet earth.
Ever wonder why when it was translated into ghostly kitchen’s dialect with ghostly and deadly words it does not work.
But teleport living human kind back in time.
The blunders and slip-ups with human errors in making a mess out there.
When living human kind do not even have the power to create books into positive and negative for the good of mankind on planet earth.
Do not even know how to create one new universal language and one speech for mastering our creator’s universal gifts of life.
Genesis 11.1
Ever wonder how our creator’s one new universal language and one speech was only translated in time.
But never been created by living human kind on planet earth.
Ever wonder how a bunch of educated idiots go and mess it all up in kicking the butts in making a monkey out of the misery their own children, own generation living in misery with ghostly kitchen’s dialect with ghostly and deadly words in own backyards.
Luke 6.39-40
he barks the moment things start going wrong. morally in society is measured through his works. also through works of literature wrong doings of a society are exposed to
