Literature as

Communication
What is literary Communication?
It is the transmission of a written or spoken text
between a sender and a receiver.
It is important because it recognizes the
interaction of the reader with the author as a
creative act that transmits a message according
to the unique circumstances of the reader. This
circumstances can be social, cultural and
emotional.
Understanding Literature
A society is believed to be more advanced if ist has a long
history of written literature. Through written literature,
many things about the history and culture of a society are
revealed.
The American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote
about the beauty of literature: ‘’ You discover that your
longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and
isolated from anyone. You belong. Literature connects
people to each other through ideas and concepts that are
known to them. Because of this, literature is said to have
a universal appeal.
One form of literature that is familiar to many is
the short story.
A writers crafts a short story to convey an idea
about the human experience. The crafting of
this story involves the use of a set of fictional
elements that come together to create an
imagined world.
These elements are identified and described as follows:
• The setting of the story is the time and place in which the
story unfolds.
• The story unfolds through a series or sequence of events,
which make up the story’s plot.
• The plot includes a conflict. This usually involves a problem
that needs to be resolved. The plot moves towards the
resolution of this problem.
• There are characters, or the ‘actors’, in the story. Depending
on the nature, the characters may com e in the form of people
or animals.
• Stories make use of images, which are objects in the story that
appeal to the readers' senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing, and
touch). When these images recur, they may be interpreted as
symbols with meanings that go beyond the literal level.
• The theme is the main idea or message that the author
intends to convey. All the elements unify to support the story’s
theme.
 Types of literary
Communication
There is three types of communication:
1. First person in literary communication
2. Second person in literary communication
3. Third person in literary communication
 First person in literary
communication
In literary communication sender and addresser
are different and addressee and receiver are
different.
for example: poet writes a poem he is sending
the message and the characters in the poem are
the addresser so there is different between
sender and addresser.
 The end of love
by: Johny Angel
I traced your quivering lips
With my shaky fingers
& we stood
Speechless,
Teary eye to teary eye,
And realizing it was ending,
We parted
For the last time,
Turned
And walked away
On our love
 Second person in literary
communication
It uses the word ``YOU’’ to describe the main
character. In other words, you the (reader)are
the central character in a piece of writing that
uses second-person. However, in second-person,
there is still an implied speaker telling the story,
even though an ``I’’
 Degrees of Gray in Philipsburg
by;: Richard Hugo

You might come here on a Sunday whim.

Say your life broke down.
The last good kiss you had was years ago.
You walk these streets Laid out by the insane,
Past hotels that didn’t last,
Bars that did, the tortured try of local drivers to accelerate their lives
Only churches are kept up.
The jail turned 70 this year.
The only prisoner is always in, not knowing what his done.
Third person in literature
communication
Fear took hold of Him
Gripping tightly to the lamp,
He reeled, and looked around.
The water was carrying his feet away,
He was dizzy….. In His soul,
He knew He would fall..
(D.H Lawrence ``The Rainbow’)
 Third person in literary
communication
The third-person is a form of
storytelling in which a narrator relates
all the action of their work using third-
person.
