oral and written
In the Native culture, oral literature is very important, as that is how many of their myths, stories, and legends have been passed on. While obtaining my Degree in Traditional English, I found it very interesting to compare oral literature with written literature. I have found that most oral literature (including children's stories which were meant to be read aloud) depends greatly on the speaker and how it is delivered. This includes volume, intonation, breathing, pauses, and speed. As an educator, I find oral literature very effective with students, especially those with a literacy disability. Even children who just have difficulties with reading enjoy oral literature. They are able to participate and learn with the rest of the class. I consider oral literature to have an element of performance, which can gain the interest of an audience.
Oral interpretation
There is evidence of art as far back as Cro-Magnon cave wall paintings. Literature is trickier. Storytelling as an oral tradition goes back as far as language itself, but it did not become literature until each culture discovered writing and recorded the stories of its oral tradition.

Composition involves creating the content and structure of oral literature, while transmission involves the act of sharing this literature with others. Both are essential in the performance of oral literature, as composition ensures the creation of meaningful and engaging pieces, while transmission enables the preservation and dissemination of these works to future generations. Together, they contribute to the richness and longevity of oral traditions.

One of the primary distinctions between oral and written literature is the mode of transmission. Written literature is recorded and preserved in written form, whereas oral literature is passed down from generation to generation through spoken word and storytelling. Memory, performance, and improvisation are used in oral literature to keep stories and traditions alive, whereas written literature allows for more precise and detailed text preservation. Another distinction is the audience's role. Oral literature is frequently performed in front of a live audience, allowing for instant feedback and interaction between the performer and the audience. On the other hand, written literature is frequently read in private and does not provide the same level of interaction.
