    Task 2. Essay: Is there really a need to study literature, specifically Philippine


    Literature?

    ANSWER: YES

    Support to my answer:

    When we study literature, our horizons are broadened, because we can learn about
    and come to understand people who are different from us. Conversely, we might
    discover characters or poems that we really identify with—it can be really exciting and
    validating to discover that your exact thoughts and feelings have also been
    experienced by someone else. Because of these effects, literature encourages us to be
    sensitive to the whole spectrum of human experience and to consider this when
    making decisions in our day-to-day lives. Academically, studying literature also helps
    us to refine our own writing skills and expand our vocabularies.
    Through such a study, we will realize our literary limitations conditioned by certain
    historical factors and we can take steps to overcome them.

    Above all, as Filipinos, who truly love and take pride in our own culture, we have to
    manifest our deep concern for our own literature and this we can do by studying the
    literature of our country.
