Literature​ ​is​ ​based​ ​on​ ​universal​ ​themes/characters/situations​ ​that​ ​embody​ ​the​ ​human​ ​experience​ ​and help​ ​us​ ​make​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​our​ ​lives.

Writers​ ​use​ ​senses,​ ​emotions,​ ​and​ ​images​ ​to​ ​evoke​ ​connections​ ​between​ ​the​ ​text​ ​and​ ​reader

● ●

Writers​ ​create​ ​stories​ ​to​ ​document​ ​and​ ​make​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​thoughts,​ ​feelings,​ ​and​ ​understandings​ ​about themselves​ ​and​ ​the​ ​world​ ​around​ ​them.

Different​ ​perspectives​ ​and​ ​opinions​ ​of​ ​an​ ​event​ ​are​ ​legitimate​ ​when​ ​justified​ ​by​ ​evidence.
