It enriches the necessary petencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already bee.” What C.S. Lewis said means literature does not simply copy things from life but that reading literature will increase your understanding of life. In other words, literature will not simply entertain you but it will also educate you.However, Literature means different things to different people. Not everyone benefits in exactly the same way even from the same book. What you understand from a book depends on what types of things you want to learn from that book.“Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous (无定形的), literature is formal.” Francoise Sagan is trying to say that literature is not pointless and unstructured even though life is often that way and literature does refer to life and is even a part of life.
