Literature. #3 15 minute writing blog

What does literature mean to you?

In my opinion, literature is a very ready platform, to express and convey certain messages, or emotions-- specifically written literature. Literature on its own can singularly affect our feelings, and deepen our knowledge, or evoke the senses. Examples? Well, reading a novel on racial prejudice will definitely evoke fury and remind the readers of the dark and looming past in the South. Written literature possesses many literary devices, such as personification, or similes, or metaphors. Such colourful arrays of portrayal brings out the emotions of the author at that point of time. So, I think that everyone's way of illustrating their own literature is unique in its own way, and longs for others to improvise on it, or learn from it. Literature, is therefore a clear platform to enhance chances for those potential souls to shine.

Explain its significance in life.
Literature in life is used widely to express one's emotions during celebration, or sorrow. For example, when we are down and feeling sorrow and morose, if we write a written literature piece, it would definitely turn out forlorn and melancholic, and have a negative ending. But it is good, as it allows us to express our sorrow and not bottle up our feelings. Whereby if we write a literature piece when we are happy or exuberant, it is obvious that the piece would possess many cheerful phrases and our happiness would be celebrated furthermore. Literature is a platform to express one's emotions in life, and hence affecting our feelings. In life, we have ups and downs, and literature complements it; in literature, many ways of conveying our emotions and evoking feelings are clear. It is a utopian ideology to think our life has no downs, and very perfect. To fill this imperfection, literature comes in. Literature relieves stress, allows a platform for expression of feelings, and a very essential way of conveying loud messages, or satires, or sarcasm in politics or social life.
