What is the authors purpose in the passage above

Hello everyone my name is Nevaeh, I know everyone needs help in some way, shape, or form and i am willing to provide. I set up a google classroom where people can ask me questions and get help on work. No question is a stupid question so do not be afraid to ask. I usually only focus on core subjects but if you ask i will help with other specialized subjects. I can do essays all the way to power points :)

My google classroom is help the code is 7hr2k4

the whisper is the answer, hope this : )

in the quotation from passage, connie willis states that literature is a way for authors from the past to communicate with readers of today. we can read their stories, books, and other texts to learn lessons about life. willis refers to these lessons as messages “from beyond the grave.” willis has a favorable viewpoint about the timelessness of literature.
