Literally translated, the word literature means "acquaintance with letters" (as in the "arts and letters"). The two most basic written literary categories include fiction and nonfiction. DefinitionsPeople sometimes differentiate between "literature" and some popular forms of written work. The terms "literary fiction" and "literary merit" serve to distinguish between individual works. Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature," for example, on the grounds of bad grammar or syntax, unbelievable or disjointed story, or inconsistent characterization. Sometimes, a work may be excluded based on its prevailing subject or theme: genre fiction such as romances, crime fiction, science fiction, horror or fantasy have all been excluded at one time or another from the literary pantheon, and depending on the dominant mode, may or may not come back into vogue.

GNU Free Documentation License What is a good thesis for fantasy literature and the role it plays for young adult readers? Q. I'm interested in discovering the benefits and the drawbacks of fantasy literature to young adults. Fantasy literature such as science fiction, supernatural, quest adventures. It seems that adolescents and adults (not everyone) are interested in fantasy literature. For example, novels that made it to the big screen such as "Harry Potter", "Twilight", and "The Lightning Thief" are just a few that are popular to young readers. Despite the obvious that its a marketing tool and its helpful for active reading, what benefit does fantasy literature have to young readers and what could be harmful? Thank you for your time Asked by MakeG1st - Wed Nov 18 06:18:57 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think a lot of fantasy books help to show young adults, mainly women, that they don't have to be a size 0 and blonde to be the hero. Books like twilight have a heroine that is described as perfect average. The main characters of Harry potter are well Harry Ron and Hermione, and taking away the actors that play them, are not the most attractive, but they are loyal and smart and brave, and many other attributes that could go on for ever. Surly they are better things to be then pretty? I myself started reading fantasy when i was a young teenager to get out of the real world. Life as a young adult is hard, really hard, and sometimes you just need a brake from your real life.

Q. What is a well-known, good work of literature that deals with men who abuse their family? Like a man that beats his wife and/or kids? I think when a household is like that, it is very, very sad. But I haven't read any works of literature that deals with that kind of theme. Asked by Carol - Thu Oct 30 22:49:51 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Color Purple, which is an excellent read (and may well be required reading later in your education--but you'll already have read it!) deals with a woman's life during and following abuse at the hands of multiple men.
