PART B_2

Literature is one of the subjects students study at school. However, not all students see the value of learning such a subject. On the other hand, there are a lot of things students might benefit from studying literature if they give it a chance.
In literature, students read various literary texts such as prose, poetry, and drama which varies from classic to modern texts. According to Judith Langer, a university professor, literature makes people better thinkers. It helps them see every side of situations to see things on their own visions and move them towards dreams they might not have ever imagined.
In addition to that, students gain the ability to understand and imagine what it is like to be in someone else’s shoes. They become more understanding of other cultures and the likes. Also, students develop a sense of individuality and creativity. Through studying literature, students learn how to give their opinion on certain topics. While others became inspired in making their own poetry or stories in the future with the influence of what they have read before.
