Linteracture...


For me, literature is all the things we represent or express through writing and then we give them some interpretation such as history, poetry etc. When we write something is based on experiences we have lived before. We write trying to show our point of view and it is necessary to make explicit our position in order to reach more credibility (ethos). When we write we want the world know what we think about a specific theme.
For me literature is the thoughts of written works such as poetry, plays, music and also fiction (they can be also spoken), because if we write something fictional we are intrinsically applying lived experiences or thoughts we have figured out by living in a society. That is why it is important to say your position in front of the reader (ethos) to let the reader know what you think or why you think what you wrote in your work.

Concluding, Literature is completely related with interaction and constructivism, because without others’ points of view Literature would not exist. I think that something is literary when it has a legacy and transcendence in a society or in other way, it would be just words in a paper and not a literary work.


“We are all formed from what other people give us: first our parents and then other people near us. Literature opens to the infinite this possibility of interaction and thus enriches us infinitely…” page 17.
