Literature is defined as creative writing meant to create an intellectual and emotional impact through words. We study literature to sharpen our close reading and critical thinking skills, and to gain an understanding of diverse human experiences as it provides spiritual and psychological insight. Good literature makes a lasting impression by stretching the imagination in an aesthetically pleasing way and conveys messages that traverse cultures and time by becoming accepted into the literary canon.
