Quote Response

“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” - C. S. Lewis

I think what C.S. Lewis means by this quote is that literature makes reality more exciting. When you are writing you can be creative and use your imagination. Even when reading literature it can make you think more and give you new ideas. Also that literature doesn't have to be boring, it does add to reality and makes it more interesting.

In my book, The Wizard of Oz, it is very different story in a creative and fun way. Its full of adventure and there are many unrealistic parts to the story but this makes the book more interesting. My book is related to this quote because the book is unique compared to life in general.
