feeling or idea. Literature can only come alive through the creative imagination; without this all the technical skill in the word is useless. Literature may be good and
bad or indifferent ; but good literature will have some, if not all off the following qualities;ipsychological truth or holding the mirror up to nature; iioriginality;
iiicraftsmanship; and iiia consciousness of moral value Rees1993; 9, t has generally been thought that there is some sense in which literature should hold the
mirror up to nature it should be “life-enhancing” or a criticism of life. This mean I think, that we expect a writer, whether he be a poet, novelist or dramatist, to passion
