One way literature affected history was before the American Civil War. The book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe caused the start of the American Civil War. Slavery wasn't a big deal until Harriet wrote this book. Abraham Lincoln the 16th president, confronted Harriet about the book. He spoke to her about it and he realized that slavery has to be stopped. The south refused. The Civil War started.
Literature can lead up to conflict or hatred between others, It can cause wars, street fights, and arguments. Literature can give people the right or wrong idea. Positive literature puts people on track to the right side of things. Negative literature would throw them off to believe the wrong thing.
An example of literature affecting history is our current presidency. But, we're not gonna go into detail about that. :)
Hopefully i helped!
You could have googled that, but the answer is Arthur Conan Doyle.
The point of the cartoon is to show how ignorant people can be about world problems. Many people decide to stick to their own mindset and are not open to other people’s advice and solutions.
I would say that I agree with the cartoon because many people find a way to ignore the problem. They decide to only focus on their own situations and forget about the most important ones that deal with the world.
Are you asking for the meaning of the title of the book
