Literature

Literature is the written art form of many good thinkers. People use writing literature as a way to express their feelings about something in such a way that the author chooses to express it. The way literature is written changes by what age it was written in. For instance, in some ages literature was writing a poem that was so complex that no one was able to understand it. This however progressed into writing that expressed basic emotions so that the reader could better relate to it. People read literature and gain a better vocabulary and the ability to better understand more complex writing and emotion. It is a gateway for expressing thoughts to others either directly or indirectly.

What is literature and why study it?

Literature is a wide ranged collections of stories, novels, poems, and other written works.  It is the basis of the world's language.  Literature outlives the years, we read and study works written hundreds of years ago by people who have long since been dead.  Literature gives us a peak into the past.  It allows us to share emotion and relate experiences.  People may be able to relate to a certain piece of work to their life.  People may also be inspired to write their own works based off of their reaction to some one else's.  Literature is an outlet of creativity.  We study it to learn, become better writers, to understand other cultures and time periods or simply to teach ourselves an outlet for our emotions.  Clearly literature is a great cornerstone in our world because we are taught it since grade school and without it communication would be almost impossible.

In my mind literature is the ideas of a certain writter expressed through stories and/or poems.  These stories usually contain similies, metaphors and other literarry ways of expressing the writers thoughts without flat out saying them.
I think we read literature in order to gain understanding.  We try to understand what the writter thinks, what society thinks, and what we think as we read.  This helps us better understand society and furthers our thinking process
