What's the point of analyzing literature?

<p>

<p>I have seen this to a certain degree. I agree, sometimes literary analysis is taught poorly. For example, sometimes teachers make you analyze every single line of a 150 page book (worst English class ever). However, other times literary analysis can give you a deeper appreciation of the text and helps you lay out your thoughts clearly. By laying out your thoughts clearly, your thinking is sharpened. This is a very good thing. I think it’s stupid to suggest that literary analysis has “no point.”</p>
