this is not a homework; it is only a personal curiosity

Define literature and then do your own homework...
My apologies to you...too many youngsters in here trying to get others to do their homework for them!
Literature stimulates my imagination and helps to keep my cognitive powers working.

One of the reasons is that I like literature since it is an important field of studies regarding the Humanities. I think every genre of literature in any language in the world represents human lives, ideals, imaginations, values, morality, suffering, happiness, etc. In brief, reading literature helps us understand other fellow human beings in our nation as well as those living/working in foreign countries in the sense that we all are mortal with follies, therefore, it's better for us to redefine our views of life or the world. Indeed, we all live in the nation/world like families so it's just great to learn to understand other people via reading literature.

It takes you to another world, a world were you create your own people, give em clothes and faces design their homes and make up their faces and voices.
You join this world and become the game player, literature puts you in control and that's a good feeling.

i like learning about literary devices and identifying them, especially those peculiar to certain periods. for example, "the found narrative", popular around, oh, mid- to late-eighteen hundreds, in which a novel was presented as a "true account", actually fiction. this is also what 'the da vinci code' is. or, a "framed narrative", in which the story is chiefly related by a second narrator. sometimes they stack, as in 'frankenstein'. at one point, the narrator tells us what victor tells him, which is what the creature told him, which is what the creature read.

Because it's far more stimulating than television could ever be. It tingles the imagination and expands the mind.

i like it because it takes me away from reality. you read about foreign cultures, interesting people and amazing plots..there is nothing better, especially if you live a very dull and normal life
