Keionna Bailey Assignment 4

The study of literature is important because it allows us to think. Compared to what we normally read in the news or tabloids, literature allows us to come up with our own ideas about the characters and meaning rather than it be given to us. It also demonstrates a variety of emotions, enabling us as the readers to empathize with the characters and also the people we interact with in real life. Humanities is the study of humans, so in terms of our life it can help with our communication skills and make us more compassionate human beings. Also studying humanities would be great to accompany anything that we choose to study later on in life because no matter what career field we choose to pursue, it will always involve the communication with people and it will be helpful to know about other people.
