II. PRESENTATION
Literature is our connection with our own human experience of life. It is
the creative representation and reproduction of what we have lived in and for. It
describes, records and shares our experiences, hopes and desires to other people. It is
us speaking when we are out of words. An essay could be you analyzing the different
issues in the society; the novel could be your subconscious retelling the memories you
have suppressed; the poem could be your emotions flowing out your body.
Literature comes from the Latin word “litteratura” which means “writing
formed letters.” However, literature is not only enclosed in that meaning. Literature is
anything and everything that reproduces life experiences. It collects, organizes and sums
up the entirety of humanity, occasionally adding to it.
Literature of all kinds could be read and analyzed by looking carefully at
its most basic element. These are:
FORM – talks about general structure of the literary piece. It is the first aspect of literature
that attempts to connect with the reader. From the title of the literary work, to the way the
words or sentences creates a visual impact, every part of it is literature. Therefore, it is
through form that literature first communicates its message.

THEME – is the subject of which the literature revolves around. Literature is purposive. It
draws in crowds of readers who have the same reasons and goals. It unites people who
share common life experiences.
CHARACTERIZATION – characters in literature could be products of the writer’s
imagination, or they could be the very compelling point-of-view that the writer thinks in.
great characterization is achieved when on drops his or her stereotypical views of the
world, grabs the more relatable and vulnerable personas that stand out.
STYLE – are the specific techniques and designs that a literary writing employs to
prolong his or her grip of the reader’s interest. The play on words and the skills in
storytelling of the writer. Comprise of his or her style. It is through the individual efforts of
writers to improve an develop their style that literature continues to live, even in this reality
of modern age.

CONTEMPORARY FORMS OF LITERATURE
The use of internet as a medium to showcase literature has helped created
different literary types involving web sharing and reading. The context of the
fast-changing period of the 21st Century has also contributed to the creation of shorter but
detail-filled literary texts.
HYPERPOETRY – sometimes called “Cyberpoetry,” presents poems that include verses
or lines linked through hyperlink mark-ups. This type of poetry is very visual, as it
oftentimes uses graphics to further convey the meaning. The links in this type of poem
suggest that the reading of the poem is highly dependent on the readers, as they are the
ones clicking the links in the mark-ups.
BLOG – “web log” is a website created to contain and manage user-made articles or
posts that are updated regularly. This is a good medium for writers to share their opinions
and experiences to a bigger audience, and, at the same, is a good channel to read other
ideas as well.
