“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” - C. S. Lewis
The quote, that is not a poem, is very hard to understand. I think that the speaker means that books and writing (literature) makes life more interesting. The speaker is saying that literature adds pleasure to our world.
I am currently reading my second book. The book I am reading is Alice's Adeventures in Wonderland, by Lewiws Carroll. This quote relates to my book by it being entertaining. There are lots of wierd and whacky things going on in my book. This makes the book enjoyable to read.

I agree with you on C. S. Lewis meaning that books make life more interesting. I also wrote that. Did you enjoy your first book? I hope you enjoy Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!
ReplyDeleteIt seems likes we all think of this quote as "making life more interesting"
ReplyDeleteHow do you like Alice in Wonderland molly? I just finished it and would like to know what you think about the strange things going on in that back =]
I did enjoy my first book,Ten Little Indians. You all know that it was kinda creepy though. haha. Alice in Wonderland was a lot different than the movie I thought. I still liked it though. I like the Cheshire Cat the most. haha :)
