Textuality » 3A Interacting
LESSON OF THE 20th SEPTEMBER 2011
Literary, painting, sculpture and music. They are all forms of art and produce emotions, pleasure, positive or negative reactions on the reader, but they use different means of communication. Literature is made up of words, painting is made up of colors, sculpture of marble. Different form of art uses different ingredients and tools.
The use of the language in literature must follow a strict disciplined technique. Whenever poets write, they must follow a strict disciplined technique so their language (the language they use) is charged with a lot of meanings and that is why poetry arouses and stirs several emotions.
Literary texts send a lot of messages and most of them can be all correct because every reader provides a personal interpretation of the same text, but the interpretation is not free. Because, in order to advance a interpretation, we must be able to support it by textual references.
Literary genres are: poetry, fiction and drama. The ballad, the novel, the haiku, the sonnet are literary forms.

WHAT LITERATURE IS IN MY OPINION
Literature is a form of art to write texts that they express the vision of the world of the writer who looks carefully for the form. Each writer writes what he thinks, so every literary text can be different. There are other forms of art, for example sculpture, music, painting. And all these are full of meaning and emotion. For example in music the singer sings about his life expressing his feelings through notes and several instruments (piano, guitar, violin, recorder, flute..). But, the important of the song are the words. They can be reported to love, nature, important event, unhappiness, and several things.
Literature is made up of words. And each of these words is charged with meaning that arouses different emotions. Writer wants draw our attention to mode of expression. He tries to demonstrate what he thinks and to share his feelings. So each word the writer writes is important and he choose it carefully. He uses it with some techniques, making similes, rhymes, and metaphors. Each word hides a meaning or an emotion, that can be interpreted in different ways. Indeed each reader has his life and feelings and he can find new interpretations and new emotions that another. It is interessant because the text is one, but it have different opinions.
