What is Literature?

Everyone has he/she own definition of Literature. For me, Literature is anything that contains words. It has many functions in people's life. Literature is common used to express feelings, to inform people about important facts, stories, and everything that the author wants to express. Trought time humans have used literature to let other generations know about their ife and feelings. It is a source of knowledge, entertaining, and inspiration of person no matter gender, color of skin, or country. Literature is universal. Everybody can appreciate a good novel, a piece of music, or a biography even if we do not like to read. In addition, literature can helps us to get knowledge about history and everything in life.
