| LITERATURE is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken material. Derived from the Latin “litteratura” that means "writing formed with letters". Works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, nonfiction, journalism, and songs. | |
| IMPORTANCE: the literature is all around us, it is also stories and ideas that we have received from our parents and from our culture. It teaches you what life is all about. It is not just reading about writers or novels it broadens the reader´s mind and gives the ability to think from all the perspectives and develop analytical skills. | |

The THEME in a story is its underlying message or 'big idea. In other words, what critical belief about life is the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem? This belief, or idea, transcends cultural barriers. It is usually universal in nature. |

| SETTING is the time and place (or when and where) of the story. It’s a literary element of literature used in novels, short stories, plays, films, etc., and usually introduced during the exposition (beginning) of the story, along with the characters.

POINT OF VIEW refers to who is telling or narrating a story. A story can be told in three different ways: first person, second person, and third person. Writers use point of view to express the personal emotions of either themselves or their characters. |
| CONFLICT in a story is a struggle between opposing forces. Characters must act to confront those forces and there is where conflict is born. If there is nothing to overcome, there is no story. Conflict in a story creates and drives the plot forward | |
| SYMBOLISM is the practice or art of using an object or a word to represent an abstract idea. An action, person, place, word, or object can all have a symbolic meaning. When an author wants to suggest a certain mood or emotion, he can also use symbolism to hint at it, rather than just saying it. | |

| FORESHADOWING is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, and it helps the reader develop expectations about the upcoming events. | |
