The quote by C. S. Lewis what it means and how it relates to my book

“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” - C. S. Lewis


I think that it means that books are a part of daily life and at first you might not like it but you should keep read because you might find yourself not wanting to put it down. Also, that you might see that something in your book might relate to your everyday life. Even if you did not like the book you might of got something out of it like new words ,a few laughs ,and etc.


It relates to my book by at first it was about how she had a servant in India and how she was forgotten by her caretakers. It was a little boring at first but now that I am more than half way though the book I found that I do really like it. Also, that I do not want to put it down so that is how it relates to my book and what I think it means.
