Olivia McCrary Assignment 4

The study of literature is an essential part of my life. I have always embraced studying novels, drama, and poetry. I read literature so I can learn more about human nature and therefore better understand my own psychology and behavior. Though I don’t always thoroughly analyze what I read, I examine it enough to find something that resonates with me or reflects my own life experiences. It makes me reconsider my experiences and actions, and makes me wonder about what life really means. This kind of knowledge guides me and builds my character. I can apply the literary works I’ve studied to any aspect of my life, including most other subjects in school.  My liberal arts education will hopefully leave me a well-rounded, insightful person.
