Literary criticism is a technique that authors use in their works. It most likely is a discussion or evaluation of literature. The criticism can be either positive or negative towards the author, but it gives them a perspective on how to make their works better. Authors can have more than one meaning in their work, and we have to interpret what is trying to be said. As we read, we get a summary of the book and what it’s supposed to be about. When someone is criticized they can see what they need to write about more or less. Not only are authors critiqued, but also movies, books, magazines, and TV shows. When a show gets a negative review, they know the next time how to make it more interesting for viewers, to like it and relate to it more. In my opinion I think literary criticism can be very helpful because it gives you as a writer a better idea on how to make your work better and more engaging to the reader. When others evaluate your work they bring new ideas and new meanings to you which can be very helpful. Even though many people do not like to be critiqued, they can later on benefit from it.
