Literature

Personally, haVing a truly definition of literature is not simple. Most of people believe that literature is the art of writing or every written text, and it's good, but is that the real meaning of literature? I think our personal experience through literature is the only possibility to come out with a definition, due to is this situation that allows us to create our own interpretation.

Literature has a flexible perspective, it depends on the person, mood, and context. For instance, if we read a book at the age of 14, probably we gave it a specific meaning but if we read it now that meaning is going to change into a even more meaningul message. Literature is always changing and enriching us. According to what Thodorov says in his text, "literature expands our universe, prompts us to see other ways to conceive and organize it", I deeply believe that literature helps us to enrich our wisdom and provokes certain reactions that make us move forward the bubble that society established,but the most important is that literature gives us new knowledge and we have the possibility to transfer it.
