Literature has a special power to talk about and criticize unfairness in society. It does this by telling stories and sharing experiences that show how some people are treated unfairly or unequally because of things like their race, gender, or where they come from. When we read stories about characters facing discrimination or unfair treatment, it helps us see these issues more clearly. It’s like walking in someone else’s shoes—we can understand what it feels like to be treated unfairly, which makes us more aware of these problems in our own world.

Sometimes, books and poems challenge the way things are and show us that the way people are treated isn’t always right. They can show us how power and control work in society and how some people have more advantages than others just because of who they are.

Stories can also inspire us to do something about unfairness. When we read about characters who stand up against injustice or fight for their rights, it encourages us to think about what we can do to make things fairer for everyone. It’s like they give us courage and ideas to make a difference in our own communities.

Literature also helps to remember and preserve the stories of people who have faced injustice. By reading and sharing these stories, we make sure that their experiences are not forgotten and that we learn from history to create a better future. Overall, literature is a powerful tool that opens our eyes to social issues, encourages us to think critically about fairness, and motivates us to take action to create a more just and equal world for everyone.
