Literature is a means by which we know ourselves. By it we (1)______
meet future selves, and recognize past selves; against it we
match our present self. Its primary function is to validate
and re-create the self in all its individuality and distinctness.
In doing so, it cements a sense of relationship between the self and
the otherness of the book, and allows us a notion of ourselves
as sociable. Its shared knowledge is vicarious experience; by this means we
enlarge our understandings (2)______
of what it means to be human, of the corporate and independent (3)______
nature of human society. The act of reading the book marks both
our difference in and our place in
the human fabric. The more we read, (4)______
the more we are. In the act of reading silently we are alone from the book, (5)______
separate from ones own immediate surroundings. Yet in the (6)______
act of reading we enter other minds and other places, enlarge our (7)______
dialogue with the world. Thus paradoxically, while disengaging from
the immediate we are increasing its scope. In silence,
reading activates a deeply creative function of consciousness. We
are deeply committed to the narrative which we coexist while engaged in (8)______
reading. All kinds of present physical discomfortness may be (9)______
unnoticed while we are reading, and actual time is replaced by
narrative time. To imaginatively
enter a fictional world by reading it (10)______
is then both a liberation from self and an expansion of self.
