And these are:
Poetry, prose, essays, fiction, drama, history
Others are in the form of art. Like sculpture, painting, drawing, etc.
For me, Literature is important, for us to know the things that are repeatedly happening. So that we will be aware of the things that happened before. And it could happen again.
My Symbol is "Memory"

I can relate Literature to a memory in such a way that most of the written works stay forever and others just fade away.
