Novels and great pieces of writting have granted the world with an important tool in reviewing history; also in perceiving how far the world has come. Emerson’s assertion about the power of books in his quote that states, “Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst.” is relevant for today. People in the present take a look back into history using different types of writings. It can also help inform someone on an issue or events that took place in the past. Even though books…
