And we may not realize that literature has appealed to so many people with its three significant 4 (quality). Firstly, literature presents truth and beauty. Sensitive writers and poets describe unnoticed truth and beauty of the world and bring them to human's attention. Those who read their works will be able to see the 5 ( hide) beauty too. Secondly, literature can appeal to people to dig out their own feelings and imagination. What 6 (attract) people most is that literature can use their words to wake us up to have the power to feel and imagine, 7 guides readers into a world of love, beauty and heroism.
