If it is well thought out and described articulately, then literature can inspire, teach, and show examples of life and how life can be. It can present problems and how they can be overcome.

Sure. When we read literary fiction we find ourselves in all forms and ourlives in all aspects reflected inside. It is then that we can choose which character we want to be and which role we would like to play in our own real life. For some of us it is like going to school to learn and for others it is like visiting the psychiatrist to seek help.

I believe it has its place as it involves a certain level of structure that can help to develop the creative mind. Literary fiction encourages imagination and imagination lends itself to critical thinking and creativity. These two can help to solve some our social problems. That was what Einstein meant when he said logic will take you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere.

I think the purpose of literary fiction has many advantages improve your skill and improvement.

yes I do. I believe that literary has many other purposes. Some literary texts are written to teach lessons on dealing with life. Many wrters write to transfer their experience in life to their readers. In adition to this purpose, many writers has chosen to be critics. They criticize leaders, to criticize beliefes, to criticize some prctices in the society. In one word, to criticize what they disagree with.

Literary texts often have many messages, either overt or covert messages.
