Literature-: “The Art of Expressing Words”.
Earlier when
human civilization developed humans didn't know how to read and write. They used
to express their views, happenings through pictures, later on, humans learned how
to read and write. Gradually new words developed and humans learned literature.
Literature
is a word that is derived from the Latin word “literal” meaning “letters”. Putting
words in a paper doesn’t mean literature; rather it is something beyond this.
It is the work of art, words of imagination, and creativity putting together to
express our feelings beautifully.
The one of
the greatest poets of all time “William Shakespeare” describes literature as;
“Literature is a comprehensive essence of the intellectual life of the nation”
Some peoples
have hobbies to read literature while some have hobbies to write it. Different
regions, peoples have different styles of expressing their views, hence different places have different styles
of literature. Literature also changes from time to time like the work of
William Wordsworth( 1790-1850) is totally different from William Shakespeare(1564-1616).
Literature
includes fiction, imagination, thriller, funny stories, novels, poems, essays,
paragraphs, and much more. It describes the society, believes, people of a
particular place and time. It helps in globalization as we get to learn about
different traditions.
Literature
teaches us lessons, values like our great epics Ramayana, Mahabharata, Quran,
etc, gives everyone the best life lessons and ideas to develop new things by
taking inspiration from them. It makes us understand the world in better means.
Literature gives us the ability to think from a different perspective and take
correct decisions. Sometimes when we are sad, reading can make us happy. It
can be a boon to distress ourselves. In fact, every age group should read
because it can give us solutions to tackle problems. Literature improves our
vocabulary, we may not realize that but when we read different types of
literature, we learn different types of words in an easy way.
There are as many types of books as we have peoples on earth and everyone can choose books according to their suitable
moods. It is true that a good book can make a person happy when alone, feel
confident when in public and different when in-crowd.
Today, we
might be moving to an era of technique, but literature is as important as it
was earlier. Everyone’s choice to read is different, some like to read
romantic literature, some like to read fantasy, thriller, relatable literature
whereas some like to read real. It's absolutely true, that “Human life may end,
but literature never ends.”
