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"
My Symbol is a memory of a computer. I chose this because like a memory of a computer, every Literature such as those written, arts, and other forms, are stocked in the library, museum, etc. Just like our memory, everything that we know are stored in our brain.
I can relate Literature to a memory in such a way that most of the written works stay forever and others just fade away.
