- My major comment to this book is, it helps us to understand more about the
culture, beliefs, norms, stand, traditions, and customs of other country. Also to be
knowledgeable of who and what they are. It will help us to respect each other. Through
Literature, we discover ourselves and world time and again. The study of Literature can
enrich our lives in all kinds of ways. This study is a part of our cultural heritage.
Literature is a very effective way of understanding a culture of a particular time, of a
particular class and of a social group.
