"Good literature substitutes for experience which we have not ourselves lived through." -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
That's the quote that we have to explain the meaning of this week and describe how it relates to our books. What the quote means to me is that we can't do certain things in life so we have to live it through books. In my book, "Grimm's Fairy Tales" this relates to it because in the one fairy tale called, "The Goose Girl" a peasant pretends to be a princess and takes the place of her. Eventually everyone finds out that the peasant girl is not really the princess and she has to go back to being a servant while the princess gets back her throne. This is how literature can help you experience things that you would never be able to experience in real life.
