Why Literature

Why Literature

The general argument made by Mario Vargas Llosa in his work is that people today do not make or say they dont have enough time for literature. More specifically, Llosa argues that literature and reading has become more a female activity. He writes “it seems clear that literature has become more and more a female activity.” (pg. 39) In this passage Llosa is suggesting that if we try to make time for literature, we will have the time we want for it.

In my view, Llosa is correct in his thinking because its true that we dont make the time to read. For example, I one day got home from soccer and was told I needed to read. But I said I couldnt read because I came up with the lame excuse that I was too busy to do it with other things. Although Llosa might object that there are some men who read. I maintain that most of The men dont. I conclude that we should make more time to read our literature today.
