Because you might learn something from it. That, for instance, fifty years is not such a very long time - some people have already lived even longer than that. You might yourself.

I suppose that somebody like you, who will be spending the rest of your life behind a greasy plastic counter asking people if they want fries with that, and then going home to get drunk and pass out in front of a reality TV show every night, doesn't really need to study literature or math or history or biology or anything else.

Have a fun time on your deathbed looking back at your useless and boring life.

Aww. How cute. Another young troll without a clue. Start practicing this phrase now:

"Would you like fries with that?"

ETA:

No sense in wasting my time attempting to enlighten you. Your mind is clearly made up and I have no interest in trying to convince an idiot of anything.

There is an educational reason, ask your teacher, or drop out of school, dummy.

Why do we study history? Why do we study art? Some people like it, some people don't. Learning what president issued what law won't help us, reading classic novels won't help us, but not everyone is interested in science or math and everyone deserves to pursue their passions.

beavis and butthead reruns don't qualify as culture.

Analyzing literatures and especially the characters can help us understand people in real life better. Besides, many people want to retain literature as one of the greatest inventories in the human civilization and to do this we have to read them.

They simply want to keep you busy doing useless stuff. That's what school is basically for. College/university, on the other hand, is something else, because it actually prepares you for your future career.
