Literature is thought-provoking; it allows us to raise questions and gives us a deeper understanding of issues and situations.  "Literature provides insight into the minds of other human beings, into the mind of the author and the minds of the character he or she brings to life,"- Sophie Chamas, international studies student at AUS. "Literature teaches us to analyze a character, allows us to reach inside his or her mind so we see what drives a character, what shapes his or her beliefs and how one relates to others." Literature also allows us to question some of our most prominent beliefs and examine our lives, giving them deeper meaning.
