I had to decide what to do with it, the best thing that I'd found during the years of studying English and English Literature. I would not bury it but some of you may feel like you should dig some to find what it is. I will take you gently to the deep so that you can touch and feel the roots of reading and writing with literature for your goal.

Novels and dramas are easier to understand with less implication than poetry. They are all about life ― people, events, emotions, and insights ― you are familiar with so far or will be soon or later for the rest of your life. So don't be afraid nor feel difficult. We just need some “eyes” or “glasses” to help us to look better and better understand the lives that novelists and playwrights experienced and arranged in front of us. I am very pleased to take you gently to them.
