What is literature ?
Literature is a term use to describe written or spoken material. The term is most commonly used to refer to words of the creative imagination including works of poetry, drama, fiction and non-fiction. Literature is the art of written works. It is the body of written works of a language period or culture. Literature is published in written works in a particular style or particular subject. Literature is the mirror of life. Our life and all the subject are related to our life is the subject matter or element of literature. So we can get the touch of our life trough literature.Etymologically, literature has to do with letters,the written as opposed to the spoken word, though not everything that is written down is literature.
What is the function of literature ?
As based conception, Aristoteles in “poetic’ that the function of literature is called “catharsis the primary functions of literature are to delight the reader, and heighten his awareness of life. The subsidiary functions are ‘propaganda’, ‘release’ and ‘escape’; but they are subordinated to the primary creative functions of literature.Propaganda literature’ must be distinguished from mere propaganda in which there is nothing creative. The writer of mere propaganda is simply concerned to popularize facts, ideas, and emotions with which he is familiar. But propaganda that is literature is a creative influence irradiating and transforming the writer’s experience.‘Release literature’ is that in which the dominant motive of the writer is simply the assuagement of starved needs, the release of pent-up forces in the personality. Romances, detective stories, thrillers, poems etc.
Literature also provides ‘escape’ from the grim realities of life, and many people read to escape boredom. The higher type of literature helps the reader to escape from trivial reality into significant reality.
Element of Narrative
Conceptual elements ( surface facts )
Actions – events and the sequence ( plot )
Character ‘ agent of motivation
setting – point of reference
Mode of narration ( expressive devices )
Point of view - focus of the narrator knowledge and values
Style - focus of the author’s atittudes and values
The document discusses the five key elements of a short story: plot, character, setting, conflict, and theme. It provides details on each element and how authors can effectively incorporate them into short stories. Plot involves a sequence of causally linked events, character refers to people or animals in the story, setting establishes the time and place, conflict is a struggle that drives the story, and theme conveys a central idea or message. Short stories require a focus on these essential elements to craft compelling narratives in a limited space. Mastering the five elements can help writers get published by understanding what makes short stories effective.

Reaction Paper # 2—After reading this week’s notes “Reading Fiction” and “Graduation” by Maya
Angelou, complete reaction paper 2 as described below.
Discussed in the notes this week are 6 elements of fiction: Tone, Plot, Characterization, Setting, Theme
and Point of View. Choose one element (other than POV) and reflect on how Angelou uses it in her
writing. Give specific examples and quotes from the text to show how she uses the element and its
effect on the story. Be sure to quote correctly (using quotation marks and providing paragraph #s).
Remember that reaction papers should be 1-2 pages, double-spaced.
Below is a brief sample of how to discuss one of the elements with examples from the text. The example
discusses the use of point of view in the story:
Maya Angelou’s story “Graduation,” is told from first-person point of view, told through the
main character, Marguerite Johnson. Although it is not yet clear who the narrator is within the first 5
paragraphs, in paragraph 6 Angelou writes, “In the Store I was the person of the moment.” Thus, we are
introduced to the narrator of the story. The rest of the story uses pronouns such as we, me, my which
solidifies the narrator’s point of view.
Hearing the story unfold from first-person POV gives credibility to the theme of the story.
Maguerite Johnson is one of the graduates excited to be graduating, and is present at every point of the
story—from the events leading up to the day, the events during the ceremony, and her feelings about
what has occurred.
In paragraph 7, she tells us, “My class was wearing buttery-yellow piqué dresses, and Momma
launched out mine.” She goes on to describe the expert way her mother crafted her dress. It is clear
from all of her descriptions that she, her family and the community looked toward the day with great
anticipation, even though as the narrator states, “I was only twelve years old and merely graduating
from the eighth grade” (paragraph 8). She goes on to explain that many teachers in the Arkansas Negro
schools had the same diploma but were able to teach. This shows that at the time, an eighth-grade
graduation was quite an achievement which could lead to possible (anticipated) professions…

Reading Fiction
Fiction creates imaginary worlds by telling stories written in prose (ordinary, unrhymed
language) about realistic characters, set in physical environments, and with attention to
descriptive detail.
Works of fiction narrate, or tell stories. Narrative is not specific to fiction or to any other
literary genre. Telling stories pervades almost every aspect of our daily lives. We learn
very early on how to recognize and tell stories, and we rely heavily on narrative to
organize and make sense of our experience. Even in our sleep, we tell stories in the
form of dreams. It is impossible to imagine our lives without these narratives; in fact,
every culture uses them to order a ...

This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Techniques and literary devices in fiction
Literary works, including fiction, serve a lot of purposes for many people; one of which is
for entertainment. For this reason, it is but necessary that a fiction writer is able to deliver a
kind of story which appeals to the senses of its readers in order to attain its eng goal- to
entertain. In this regard, the writer's good taste and choice of techniques and literary devices
in fiction is very important not only for an entertaining story, but for a more interesting,
meaningful and authenthic work.
1.Allegory - this literary device makes use of a character, place, or event which is meant
to deliver a broader message, usually a moral or political one, concerning issues events
which are happening in the real world.

objects, actions or characters in the story to infer something aside from its dictionary or
literal meaning.
3. Irony - there are three types of irony that a writer can make use of :
Verbal irony - it is used when what one says is totally different from what he actually
meant. This type is similar to sarcasm.
5. Situational irony - this happens when the actual outcome of an action is different from
your expected outcome.
Dramatic irony - it happens when the audience, not the character himself, knows more
regarding the character's situation.
4. Imagery - the writers connects with the readers by appealing to their senses, including
sense of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, with the intention to create " word pictures"
Two types of imagery
Figurative language- in which the meaning of a statement not be taken literally. For example,"
The war zone looked like the moonscape.
Literal imagery- is the other way around. It makes use of concrete and specific language to
construct various clear pictures. For example, " The boy walked along the muddy, wet, gravel
road, as the red maples and crimson birch blew in the cold autumn wind".The most commonly
used figures of speech are the following:
Simile- the writer makes a direct comparison between two totally different things by
using the word "like" or "as" Example: Your lips are as red as roses.His voice is as loud
as thunder.
Metaphor- similar to simile, this figure of speech makes a comparison between two
unlike things, but without the use of "like" or "as".Example: Life is hell without you.You
are music to my soul.
Personification- this figure of speech allows the writer to assign animals, objects, or ideas
with human qualities, attributes or abilities.Example: "The angry wind knocked over the
chair and slammed the shutters."The leaves dance as the wind blows.
Hyperbole- this figure of speech, the writer practices exaggeration or overstatement for
the purpose of emphasis.Example: It took forever for the bus to arrive.She cried a river
when left her.
