One way literature might be considered good is its ability to evoke deep emotions and resonate with universal themes. One way that literature might be considered bad is if it lacks coherence and fails to engage the reader.

I am VERY COMFORTABLE with determining the quality of literature because I find it EASY to critique a text, as I can analyze its structure, themes, and language.

My comfort level changes depending on the GENRE that the text was written because I may find certain genres more challenging to engage with due to their complexity or style.

An example of a text that was easier to read would be "The Time Machine" because of its straightforward narrative and engaging science fiction elements. This was easier to read because of its clear storytelling.

A text that was harder to read was "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" because of its intricate stream-of-consciousness style and complex themes. This was harder to read because of its layered narrative structure and philosophical depth.
