A Different Point Of View

I believe that race and gender and class are important when discussing literature. When people read a book or watch a t.v. show they tend to relate things that are happening to their own lives. When people cannot relate to their own lives they put themselves in someone elses shoes. It is important to be able to do this because obviously we cant live our life in everyones shoes so we try to ask ourself questions like "How would this make me feel" when someone can do this they can for the most part understand what other people are going through and this would give someone a better understanding of the world and what its like to be someone else.
