ENGLISH LITERATURE

A Short Story

A young student once read a novel about a person who overcame poverty, rejection, and failure to become successful. Years later, whenever life became difficult, the lessons from that story gave the student courage to keep moving forward. That is the power of Literature. Sometimes a story can teach lessons that facts alone cannot teach.
