The Definition of Literature: Christiana Rodriguez

Literature is something that is truly undefinable. It can mean different things to different people. However, for me, literature means being able to escape from the stressful ways of the everyday life and being able to reflect on our past so that we can move on in the future. Life is like a roller coaster, it has its highs and lows and sometimes it would be nice to get off every know and then to catch our breath. That is what literature can do for us. It can take us out of the everyday so that we can see a relax and ponder life as we know it. If we did not have literature to do this for us, then imagine all the rage and anger people would have because they have no outlet. Another way literature is important is that it allows us to review the past, because lets face it, the past makes up who we are today. So it is important that we keep up with what has happened, so that we can be prepared for what will happen. Literature is a unique tool that we should all take advantage of, so that we can fully maintain sanity throughout our entire life. Literature truly is one of the main things that has shaped us to be who we are here today.
