    NAME : GABRIEL, REDEN R.

    COURSE : BSIT
    YEAR & SECTION : II – 2 SUBJECT : BYLIT 1- Society and Literature

    1. As a forementioned, there are various definitions of literature


    from different authors. Give your definition of literature and
    explain it.
    Based on my own perception the meaning of literature
    is anything that is written. Because of  the term literature is a
    latin word ‘litera’ which means Writing based on some
    authors who define literature. However, this definition has
    recently faced a lot of criticism because some scholars
    believe that a piece of art does not need to be written for it to
    be called literature. So that I decided to change my
    perception about the real definition of Literature. This is to
    say that literature exists in many forms, therefore saying that
    literature is any written material is being narrow minded
    because literature as it is known today exists in many forms
    which are both in oral and written form.

    2. As a student, what makes studying literature important? Justify


    your answer.

    As a student, learning more about literature is very


    important because of many factors. Because of literature we
    can visualize what is the possible outcome of all the things
    we do in many different situations, we can learn about and
    come to understand people who are different from
    us. Academically, studying literature also helps us to refine
    our own writing skills and expand our vocabularies.
    Literature provides different meanings to different people or
    teach different lessons to the same person at different stages
    of their life. As a college students, studying literature is very
    essential. It can help me to understand more about it my
    personality and my decision making ability because the
    experienced by others(older people) pass through literature.
    Students gain a percpetion of ife, an insight into the meaning
    of so many thingsIt is this perception and insight that makes
    literature worthwhile. If an individual can go beyond his or her
    actual experiences into literary experiences to draw upon
    when navigating the world, she or he will have better abilities
    at navigating the world.
