My Insights on Literature
Note: Taken from Literary Visions Journal – An assignment for my literary class in college at PWU-IFAD (GEEN 216) under my professor and friend Ms Janet Tauro.
When I wake up in the morning, I usually start my day by reading the newspaper. Through the newspaper, I realize what’s new, what are the views of other people, what’s going on in our community or in our country in general, what’s entertaining, etc. There are literature created by the authors in order to communicate and share to us whatever he or she knows or feel.
There are different kinds of literature. They may be truthful or fictional. Truthful are direct and accurate. They are specific and they feed our thirsty intelects. Fiction literature however are not accurate and true. They are products of our imagination. But still they are based on reality or our limited understanding of things. There is no such a thing as absolute fictious literature for it is impossible to describe or much more relate an experience or matter which we do not have any idea. How can a person describe a form which does not have any geometrical basis. Therefore, fictious literature are still reality twisted in a way that would intice our emotions or our way of thinking (especially science fiction) or entertain us.
Literature has been around since the birth of humanity. It is synoninous to communication. Literature also uses devices such as language and ulitizes mediums sich as direct speech, print, broadcast, etc.
