What would you consider Literature? Why? Give some examples.

I think literature is the way we express or leave something behind. Not everything like art, movies. But written things, like novels, articles, books. Things like this that represent our times and our present issues, that express our way of living and express our ideas and thinking.

Literature is our way of leaving a mark of ourselves and the environment we live on. The way authors, poets, novelist show the world their ideas, ideologies, ways of thinking, and opinions. It's something that sends messages sometimes so simple like the sun is a ball of fire, but other times so deep like the philosophy of our existence.

There's no real limit to what literature can transmit to others. It all depend about the author and what he wants to tell to the people. Because like some may want to only say entertaining things, without any debt or true meaning, while others may want to show you how the world really is or how it works behind the scene.

So literature is a way of expressing ideas. To transmit them and leave something behind. To not only tell about the author's ideas or mentalities, but also the time he lived, where and what he was living. Is our expression and our mark to this world.
