 [158]   [2014-3 A] Agree or disagree: Classical literature still has a place in the modern society
 
I agree that classical literature still has its place in the modern society, and I have two reasons for this.
 
First, human relationships depicted in classical literature are still relavant to our modern lives. For example, love, friendship, jealousy, hatred, and symapthy.... Such fundamental human emotions are always vividly described in classical novels, and there is a lot to learn from them even in today's modern society. One of the best classics titled "Pride and Prejudice" is still popular among many women today, because they say the can still sympathize with the characters in the book written more than a hundred years ago.
 
Second, by reading classical literature, we can learn history, and by learning history, we learn to know how we should live in today's world and in the future as well. For instance, many stories in classical literature are often set in war times, so we can learn about mistakes people in the past made during the war, and this makes us think how we should act in order to avoid the same mistakes.
 
______________________________
 
I think that classical literature still plays a very important role in today's society. There are two reasons why I believe so.
 
First of all, classical literature is useful in terms of gaining knowledge. For example, we can learn a lot about life in different times and cultures in different parts of the world. This helps us better understand people alll over the world and enables us to know better about our own life today and our cluture. Therefore, classical literature can help us shape our values and ethics.
 
Besides gaining knowledge, classical literture can be a tool of communication. Stories in classical literature, such as ones by Shakespear or Hemingway, are so famous worldwide that people from different cutures can share conversation with each other. It is fun to talk about the stories and the authors with people from different countries with different cultures. In fact, life would be boring if we couldn't read novels in our spare time.
