How literature shaped me.

 How literature shapes me.....

Here I am sharing my experience of learning literature that how literature shaped me. Throughout this five years I have studied many texts and after studying each and every texts my point of view about life also changed.

Literature is a platform where everybody gets equal chance to express their selves. Here no one is going to ask tell us your gender, here no one is going to ask tell us your cast, tell us your degree, and tell us who your parents are. Here everyone are equal.

I have studied many texts and with each and every character I was feeling that I am also feeling the same. So, what I learned from literature? Of course about life and life experience and yet nothing because after all literature is this. It never teaches you something rather it just express someone’s feeling, emotions.

“Literature is Mirror to Society”;

But I think this is not enough because Literature is not mirror to society or rather I would like to say something more about this, I would like to add something more. According to me ; “Literature is X-ray image of society, very ugly and hard to accept. Literature is like Fruit Jam, all fruits mixed together very well that we can’t identify which test is given by which fruit. But this Fruit Jam is not sweet like original one rather I would like to say that this Fruit Jam of literature is rather bitter, hard to understand and impossible to accept as it is”.

When I stared my journey of English literature in first year of B.A. when time passes I learn so many things from literature. Today when I look back in memory of time I realize that I am not the same person I has before entering into this subject. Now I am totally different person from earlier life. Some positive changes happened with me with the help of reading and studying literature. And literature also damaged me in some of the point of views. So it gives some negative effect in my life also.

My thinking level is increased very much with critical thinking process. Before few years I was thinking only, but now I am not only thinking but now I am thinking with my increased level of thinking capacity.

At last i would like say Literature makes us think about ourselves and our society, allows us to enjoy language and beauty, it can be didactic and it reflects on the human conditions.
