How is literature related to life?

Answer 1

Well, literature is written by human beings, and so it is about life at its core. People write about literally everything... there is no part of life that has never been written about, and so... it reflects and mirrors what people think. Sometimes badly, sometimes well, depending on how well whoever is writing can translate his or her experiences into words for others to read. In essence... literature *is* life... what remains of many lives after the authors have passed away, and the only descriptions we have sometimes of events that other people witnessed. Even fiction reflects life... deals with real human problems and emotions, and situations, even when in a fictional setting. If you want to learn something, most of the time you read about it first. Hands-on is often important too, but we need literature in our lives just to get to that stage. How do you find someone to teach you something without reading about it, or reading about the person who can teach you? Literature is even important if you never pick up a book, and only watch TV. ... Someone has a question about a television show... where do they go? Usually the internet... and this is literature too. It is a bunch of people getting together and writing literature about whatever comes to mind. It's a sort of literature that appeals to almost everyone, because there are so many subjects and so much information, whether you prefer non-fiction, or whether you like your truth a little more diluted.
