Michel is used to getting good grades by taking careful notes and memorizing the information for the tests. However, he is findi

ng that his college classes are different. He has to write several response papers about the reading for his history class and has been receiving poor marks for just paraphrasing the text and not sharing his thoughts on the subject. Michel knows that a few other students have formed a study group to discuss the reading and review each other’s response papers, but decides not to join because he doesn’t know how he would contribute. In talking with his mother one night, he explains his frustration. “I always thought the point of history was that it was based on facts. My professor is always asking why I think something happened. It happened. Why is there no one answer?”

Write an interpretive essay that analyzes literature from the perspective of a quotation. In your essay, interpret the quotation
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

What is Literature?

Poems, novels, and stories; are some of the things that first came to my mind upon pondering on the question 'What is Literature?'. And just lately I have known that literature also includes songs, speeches, plays, and many others in written and spoken forms. I have also known that things that are produced out of creative imagination can be referred to as literary works which are the ones that comprise literature. Considering this description of what literature is, the coverage of literature seems very puzzling. If literary works are those produced out of creative imagining, then it would directly point to fictional works.

Take for example the views of two individuals coming from different places in a novel based on the culture of one. It would likely be the same if their culture and beliefs are quite related but if not, then they would surely have different understandings of certain parts of that novel. Hence, defining literature as those considered by people as ‘literature’ is questionable.

Eagleton also associated literature with any kind of work that is valued highly by people. But then again, since people may have different perceptions of things, one may value highly a certain work while another person may consider it just as plain writing. As stated by Ms. Pinzon, a literature professor, a personal letter can be an example of this. The recipient of the letter can be expected to value the letter while her classmate may not. Hence, this can’t define literature as a whole.

Then, what is literature? Many great critics have tried formulating a fixed definition of literature but have failed to do so. With the rise of every possible definition of what literature is, counterarguments also rise.

Literature, though it seems impossible to enumerate everything it covers, plays an important role in every individual's life. One can influence using literature or be influenced by it. Examples of these are the novels made by our very own national hero, Jose Rizal – the Noli Me Tangeri and El Filibusterismo. During his time, Rizal has  contributed essays, allegories, poems, and editorials to the Spanish newspaper La Solidaridad in Barcelona
