Literature allows people to travel through time to understand different aspects of the world like culture, traditions, stories, love, sacrifices, freedom struggles, etc. Literature provides a path to ideas and imaginations to experience the past historic moments at present time. Literature mirrors people's emotion, the power of the government, political thinking, society, etc. It reflects humanity and helps to understand each other, conveys messages, ideas, theories, discoveries, and innovations. It helps to figure out what factors make a character decide his/her choices. According to Collins, literature is like a path used by our ancestors to convey various information from the past that gives an idea of life and death.
