The significance of reading literary works and studying literature. Based on my research, the significance of reading literary works and studying literature is that it enhances a person’s imaginative thinking. Because studies have showed that reading literary works can contribute to a person’s skills in critical thinking, creativity, to improve vocabulary, to improve writing skills. Not only literary and literature enhances a person’s creativity, it is also informing a factual history that no media can manipulate with. Author’s that are in the literature industry takes an inspiration for a vast literary genre. In that, Author’s can take an inspiration from a human being that has a very tremendous life story wherein the author could create a novel or a phenomenon that relates to the character. Me as a keen book reader, I always look throughout the details of the literary work the type of genre, story, the use of unique words. Every time I read I always apply myself in the shoes of the author analyzing every details that it has written.
