LESSON 3^rd OCTOBER 2011

Literature creates an analogue reality which is unique in the text produced.

On the basis of the text and his knowledge of the world, the reader make up an image in his mind. It requires a dynamic interaction between reader, text and external world.

Informational text -> static -> it can be understood in an only way.

Literary text -> dynamic -> there are many interpretations and it describes a reality continuously changing.
