In his article, "The Importance of Reading," John Smith argues that "reading can help individuals develop empathy and better understand the world around them" (Smith). This statement is particularly relevant to the discussion of literature's impact on society. By immersing ourselves in stories, we are able to see the world from different perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of the human experience. Smith's argument highlights the transformative power of reading and supports the idea that literature has the potential to foster empathy and promote positive social change.
