Some people think that it is a waste of time for high school students to study literature, such as novels and poems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

I contradict with the thought of studying
literature
 as a time-wasting action. Learning about poems and stories can bring more merits than demerits to young generations.
Literature
 can accompany young people in their search for the
truth
, the good and the beautiful by telling them stories.
To begin
 with,
literature
 has content about tragic scenarios in
life
 which are optimistically resolved by the author. Usually, in the resolutions, the
truth
 always comes out, and the good wins over the evil and main characters can receive good karma. These stories are made to encourage students to have beliefs
in justice

injustice
show examples
. Through
this
 type of idea,
literature
 teaches teenagers that
life
 is more than a career, and if teenagers are not learned to prepare to believe in the good and the
truth
 they will live in their meaningless
life
 as working machines.
Besides
 provoking the
truth
 and the good,
literature
also
 have the power to bring out the beauty in the human’s soul and lead to humanitarian responses. In many novels and poems, the authors wrote about miserable lives where poor people always try their best to fight for freedom and search for a meaningful
life
. In the end, they may get it or may not;
nevertheless
,
literature
 can still trigger empathy in the young and have their ways to tackle the most fundamental philosophical and psychological questions.
This
 intricate level of mindset is barely learned through science and sports. In conclusion, it is crucial to state that teaching
literature
 for high school students is irreplaceable. Before becoming a rich man, all teenagers have to learn how to become a man. Physical tools like money cannot measure the real value of
literature
, and it is a big mistake if we think learning
literature
 is time-consuming.
