Assignment:

What is literature?



    Literature (from Latin litterae (plural); letter) is the art of written work and can, in some
     circumstances, refer exclusively to published sources. The word literature literally means
     "things made from letters" and the pars pro toto term "letters" is sometimes used to signify
     "literature," as in the figures of speech "arts and letters" and "man of letters." Literature is
     commonly classified as having two major forms—fiction and non-fiction—and two major
     techniques—poetry and prose.
    The occupation, profession, or business of doing literary work.
       creative writing of recognized artistic value



What are the reasons why we need to study Philippine literature?

    Philippine literature consists of the legends of prehistory as well as the colonial legacy of
       the Philippines. It is written in both Indigenous and Hispanic. It is also written in English and
       Spanish as well as Philippine. Studying Philippine Literature is importantfor cultural studies; giving
       people knowledge of the country as well as its culture and traditions. It allows both natives and
       anyone else to understand Philippine history, just as the literature of any country, does the same.

       Studying literature in general is important to do various things, no matter
       what countrythe literature if from. For example:

       • It gives moral values, and teaches the difference between what is right and what is wrong, as
       well as changing a person's attitudes for the better.
       • It can be inspiring for a person, and help them on a pathway in how to live their lives to the
       fullest potential.
       • It gives the reader historical knowledge to help people understand they state of theircountry at
       that particular time the literature as written. It gives an insight into the world around us through the
       writer's eyes rather than our own.
       • It introduces its readers to new ideas and information they may not have known before, as well
       as making them proud to be a part of that heritage.
