Answer:

Progressive

Explanation:

This is a clearly progressive statement because it departs significantly from traditional notions, i.e., conceptions established  at a previous time that persist historically through repetition, in this case, about what makes a piece of writing count as literature. The author rejects the traditional and broadly accepted idea that there is an intrinsic essence to literary texts that differentiate them from non-literary texts.

Wyle a short story of your can choice with your own words​
marta [7]
Laying down in my bed, i’m so sleepy but my mind is wide awake. Tomorrow is Christmas and I couldn’t be more excited, and not the reasons you’d think. Reviving gifts is cool, but I love the feeling of giving. There’s no greater feeling than having ur loved ones receive your gifts! So i’m laying here now, eventually i’ll fall asleep but tomorrow is Christmas and I can’t wait to see all of my families reactions.
