L What did I LEARN about
Literature?
• I learned that literature
shouldn’t be measured
for that nothing it gives
because of its high
importance that it has
thought and meaning of
what mirrors our past as
our ancestors and
salient writers have
exerted in doing those
to give a larger part to
us people in generation.
Literature testifies the
value of our culture in
ethics and morals as it
teaches us many lessons
that are good practices
and good help in our
daily lives. They are
really influential and as
we being advocates in
the country, we bring it
up towards the future
and future generations
as follows.
• There are two types of
literature namely the
prose and the poetry.
Prose refers to those
creative written works by
authors that are most

society and the nature of
us humans. Behind each
literary piece, you could
really come up to a
signification that it conveys
a message. Just as we all
know in some of the
literary pieces of our
country. The great works of
Dr. Jose P. Rizal (Noli Mi
Tangere and El
Filibusterismo). I look on for
something more that will
give me morals in addition
from the kind of piece or
any other literary works so
that I could bring this
aspect to show awareness
for myself and other
people conforming to
morality not only in the
content itself but what sets
us out and makes us think
outside the box.

was in high school, we
were taught to mainly

kind has genres and
themes depending on
the kind of story and
underlying message it
gives. As we all know
that we are most fond
on these about reading
books and literary
pieces. We can
compose our own of it. It
is in the form of
sentences and
paragraphs which we
could give bounds to
share whole throughout
the happenings in real
life and fantastical
situations. While the
poetry, what it differs
from the prose is that it
accords to a measure
as is parameterized in
the form of stanzas and
verses. It really has a
metrical structure. But
they’re both interesting
and useful in our
everyday lives.
• The main difference
between the two as to
