Authors reveal what it means to be human by giving us experiences through words that make us feel all kinds of emotions. They make us scared, hopeful, happy, sad, and angry through theirs words and that helps us feel alive. Being human is exciting and unexpected and they convey that through their words and stories.
The thematic similarities in literature help us connect to ourselves and others while reading, but the differences - the new ideas authors present - allow us to think beyond who and what we are. It is here, this difference, that makes us human. This difference defines the human condition.
