Well, there are so many explanation and description for about what the literature is? What it used for? Is it beneficial thing ? and others mumble mumble that we can find it mostly in the paper of magazine and internet, here we go! Try to conclude what is the literature.

A friend asked me "What is the definition of literature?". he made me more confused, because he also asked about it to me who haven’t known what it is the definition of literature. Then i make you read this written confusion text here, i collected several references to find the definition out, i got the explanation which mostly appeared on my references and those all same, the extend explanation about literature is Something to describe anything from creative writing to more technical or scientific works, but the term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction.

Literary culture became part of the community. Letters containing material that is highly maintained by generations of poets, many of which are spoken as written media is very limited, and it just like a palm leaf. The word literature has large amount to explain to be understood, literature somehow is the shape of paper, which when compared with other writings, has a range of features advantages such as authenticity, artistically, beauty of content and expression.

Some people said that literature is like wealth or even more, it consist and be composed of love and happiness, The plain truth is that literature may never make you richer in the pocket, but it will certainly make you richer in the mind.. It is a source of interest and pleasure when other sources fail. And it creates a store of wisdom which can become a reservoir of strength. It is something that has a truth to tell about people and their world, and tells that truth in a way which compels the sensitive reader to relive the writer’s experience with his own mind and emotions. The word "literature" in English actually comes from the Greek "litteratura" which comes from the word "littera" which has meaning of the smallest part of alphabetical writing.

So, in a nutshell literature means the art of written works which overwhelmed with so much wisdom and fantastic imagination and beautiful fantasies within the text.
