A way of looking at literature and language study: literature makes
comprehensible the myriad ways in which human beings meet the infinite
possibilities that life offers. The reader seeks to participate in another's
vision,to reap knowledge of the world,to fathom the resources of the human
spirit,to gain insights that will make his or her own life more
comprehensible.
