What is Literature? And why is it important?



Literature..

For me literature is a form of art expressed in many ways. Like in creative writings, movies, short films etc. Literature is about expressing one's thought or idea about something. It also expresses emotions of an artist. Literature represents culture, tradition, language and history of a place, event and people.


Importance..

Literature is important because it introduces us to new worlds of experience. We learn many things beacause of literature. We enjoy the comedies, drama, action, suspense and tragedies that helps us forget our problems for a while. We learn lessons in life, grow as a new person, have new perspective in life with the help of literaure. It is important because literature speaks to us and affects us in a way.
