Midterm Question: Defined what literature mean to you. Find an example.

     There are three major kinds or genres of ''imaginative or creative writing'' that form the heart of literature, by focusing on fictional stories, poems and plays.

     Literature helps to bear in mind what others have thought of literary work. And the primary goal is to get you to think yourself, as well as communicate with others, about what ''imaginative writing'' and ''artistic value'' are and about what counts as literature.

Literature also has a context and a history, and learning something about them can make all the difference in the amount and kind of pleasure and insight you derive from literature. Most important, study literature will give us practice in analyzing literature in great depth and in considering alternative views of both the works themselves and the situation and problems the work explore

     In ''On First Looking into Chapman's Homer'' by John Keats, he makes us see literature as a ''wide expanse'' by greatly developing the metaphor. Most important, he shows us what literature means and why it matters by allowing us to share with him the subjective experience of reading.
