ESSAY ON LITERATURELiterature has been part of our lives for thousands of years and to this day we still
can’t put our finger on what the exact definition of literature is. Many have tried, writers,
scholars, experts, and all kinds of people. Literature has different forms, characteristics,
and utilities, it is a form of art that varies with the different cultures and the time it has
been created in.
Literature can have different forms and shapes, such as written, oral, or poetry.
Nowadays the most frequent form is written, and the work will go through the publishing
process to be distributed and shared with the world. The writer will work hard to refine
their work and make sure their message will be understood. Writing is not the only way
to create literature. Before writing was even invented people would use their voice and
tell stories orally and it would be transmitted from generation to generation. Sound
elements could also be added to make the story richer. The fact that it is not laid on paper
changes the story a little bit every time it is told, which can be considered good or bad.
Some cultures consider written stories dead since they cannot change or evolves. Poetry
is a form of literature that mixes oral and written. It is first written down, but everything
in it is made to sound beautiful when said out loud. The placement of the sentences, the
punctuation, the rhythm, the sound, and rimes in the words. The different forms of
literature are what make it so fluid.
Literature has so many uses, the main ones would be to entertain, to teach lessons,
and to share emotions. We all know it, humans like the be entertained, it helps pass time
