REFLECTING ON LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE

 

In the previous lesson we talked about literature and language. We learned the differences between a literally text and a common text. The most important difference is the different use of the language, the language of a literally text it’s rather remote from everyday’s language.

In addition a literally text has a life on its own. Afterwards we observed the definition “classic” talking about a book. We understood a text is classic because it always tell something new in every generation and it transforms the vision of the world we have, so this is why any dictatorship always consider dangerous the artists. We finished the lesson saying that culture is a cross of codes, made of many ways of thinking.
