Abstract: Based on Ernest Hemingway, William Dean Howells and Toni Morrison, this work purports to highlight the trivial attempts to come up with common views of literature and urge to focus on the outlooks of reading. So far connotated differently through features which either reflect its worth or deprive it of any interest for some readers, this work aims to focus attention on the different perspectives of literature. Otherwise, this paper consists of a call toward the regard of literature beyond mere artistry or the written form of literary conventions which mostly hide some of its other outlooks. Exemplified through Hemingway, Howells and Morrison, the paper emphasizes how a bulk of authors mirror different life experiences to expose people to circumstances they may not have the privilege to materialize socially. The latter aims at readers’ social and psychological maturity as well as their moral betterment. In other words, it terms how, besides the artistic worth, the piece of writing pictures realities which embody diverse outlooks of life apart from mere exploration.
