An understanding of Literature

As we know literature is a vague term, restricting its definition within a sentence won't be sufficient enough. All sort of written prose and verse- be it in the form of fiction, essay, play or poetry, are literature. Though many writers may not agree with this fact but in fact, any written sentence is literature if it gives meaning. The assignment done by the student in his/her textbook is also a kind of literature. Literature is an art. And an art is an expression. So, the expression in the form of written words is no doubt literature. 
 

Each genres of literature are distinct to each other in their own manner. And within each genre, each literary work is discrete. It is because each individual is different with its presence of mind in one's way. And this diverseness of mind in human being is the corner part that has been able to make literature so vague and immense. 


Way of expressing through words is literature (already mentioned above). But we witness varieties in the presentation of our expression. The assortment is owing to various reasons. Some are very good to put their thoughts in a very symmetrical form whereas some fails. Likewise, some may feel comfortable to express in verse. Songs, poem, ballad and sonnets are some forms of poetry. Similarly, some other may choose fiction, play or essay as the best medium to express their inner-most thoughts. The genres of literature are distinct with their own unique features and importance. And the choice of genre to express varies from individual to individual. 

Just sitting inside the room, you travel across the globe. The most important thing is that you feel the human sensation just by going through words. It is the most enigmatic thing about literature, I think, which fascinates most of us to read and write literature. Just turning pages of the literature text, you face fills with glee in a second and tears in the next moment. Without writing, you express yourself just going through others writing. Isn't it so awesome? No doubt, it is really the most enigmatic entity human being discovered. The real-reader of literature reaches beyond human happiness and satisfaction. To wrap it all up, literature is power. 

Additionally, literature is the divine source of knowledge. It can help to broaden our horizon of mind as it deals with various facets of life from material to abstract one. Not only this, but it can play decisive role to bring change in the day to day conduct of the reader. It ascends individual from the world of materialism to spirituality. It makes virtues differentiating between scrupulous and unscrupulous, descent and ascent. It paves way for the betterment and only betterment. Also, in other words, it is philosophy. 

Thus, it is the discovery which aims for the betterment of the human life through human being themselves. It is the invention through which many inventions have been made possible later.
