The study of literature enhances our ability to communicate with others by acquainting us with the worlds other people live in, their history, geography, and culture, for example. Once we have a common reference, we can talk to anyone with greater ease. Literature allows us to talk to one another more empathetically and knowledgeably.

The importance of studying literature is building critical thinking skills.
Many of us learn what critical thinking is in our language arts classes. We are taught to find symbols, make connections, find themes, learn about characters. Reading expands these skills, and we begin to look at a sentence with a larger sense of detail and depth and realize the importance of hidden meanings so that we may come to a conclusion.
