You are walking along the gallery. At the side of the wall there appears a work of arts, while you are staring at the painting. You do observe and evaluate it. In fixedly looking at the picture, you see the mixture of a pigment and a liquid that forms a thin adherent coating when spread on a surface. Doing to figure out what the artist accomplished signify.
Just like what the writer do or a musician, in every single bright ideas he made. Once you understand clearly what a writer or a musician express, you can make judgments about his or her concept and the way he or she presents those ideas. As a reader, you just not comprehend literally, instead, you will go deeper. Putting oneself in a certain story will help you define the authors purpose and experience.
You already read different kinds of stories, fables, parables, proverbs, folktale, legend, poem and so forth. In short we already encountered literature. By the way, "What is really a literature"?. Literature derived from the latin words "litteratus" (learned) and littera (a letter of the alphabet). According to Brother Azurin, Literature expresses the feelings of the people to society, to the government, to his surroundings, his fellowmen, and to his Divine Creator.
Through literature you understand, you find yourself responding strongly to certain points. People maybe have differences, a unique individual but created as one. It represents the mode of being a whole nation and a whole age that a writer rallies around him.
The writer write literature to keep cultural stream flowing from pole to pole, from age to age. to represent the countries, the cultures, the very lifestyle of the people. In literature, there is a chance to experience of how Asian and African brothers work, play worship, relate with their families, friends and other people, in short, how they live. Afro-Asian literature refers to the combined literary output of the various countries and cultures in Africa and Asia.
In reading literature, simple enjoyment and appreciation and analysis and description are the aspects. Learning the ethos, ideas and philosophies that aid understanding of human nature.
Through Asian and African literature one will understand and appreciate the literary works of Asian and African authors. Everybody will gain insights on the parallelisms in Asian and African culture and histories and apply knowledge received in life.
