Introduction to Literature Subjects are divided into:1- Arts 2- Science Science: Based on seeking facts and truth. - It brings advantages to humankind and these advantages are valuable in our daily lives. - Man seeks truth because curiosity is in his nature (the urge to know more and find out).

Art – unlike Science- seeks value in the beauty of creation. - Artists’ primary concern is to compose or produce works that are unique, that have quality, and that last forever. - Art is free; unlike science because an artist has the freedom to imagine. Literature is considered as Art. WHY? Because it is created from an artist’s artistic experience or feeling.

 What is Literature? Literature refers to pieces of work belonging to major branches or genres: - Fiction: short stories and novels - Non-Fiction: prose, biographies and autobiographies. - Poetry: sonnets, ballads, songs, etc. - Drama: theatrical plays. These genres are the 4 branches of Literature.

 What is English Literature? English Literature are major genres written in English that do not refer to a certain nation. However, it is important to know there is a difference between many kinds of literature such as: - American Literature - Irish Literature - African-American Literature - English Literature

 Why do we read Literature? 1- For pleasure. 2- To gain valuable experience from other people. 3- To gain knowledge. 4- For educational purposes. Literature uses meaningful sounds we call words. Words are artistic because they appeal to our emotions; unlike in science, words are non- artistic because they appeal to our brain.

 Readers of Literature are divided into 2 categories: 1- Mature readers: more experienced, not surprised by events in a piece of work. 2- Immature readers: less experienced, surprised by events which they are unable to predict. Expectations of Immature readers: 1- Happy Endings 2- Clear Message 3- Confirmation of what they expect to happen. Usually immature readers sympathize with the hero in the pieces of work they read.

 Literature is an art that exploits the language.  Concept of English Literature belongs to the present, the future, and it’s main concern is the past.  Subject matter of writers is the concept of humanity.  Literature has freedom, willingness to experiment, and hatred towards rules.
