       What is literature? Literature though my eyes.

        When someone asked about literature without thinking they say that : “Literature is Mirror to Society”. 

     I would like to add something more. According to me ; “Literature is X-ray image of society, very ugly and hard to accept. Literature is like Fruit Jam, all fruits mixed together very well that we can’t identify which test is given by which fruit. But this Fruit Jam is not sweet like original one rather I would like to say that this Fruit Jam of literature is rather bitter, hard to understand and impossible to accept as it is”.

             During school day I used to read some poetries and short stories but at that time I thought that literature is only peace of any story or any poem but when I entered b.a then I go to know that literature is not only peace of any story or poem but it is something else.now I know that literature has no boundary. It can be anything.there are many definition of literature.I depends on leader and individualism.to understand and reading literature.under the guidance of Kaushal sir Desai. I never realised it became I was not thought how to read. Was reading Tex only for entertainment.and with story aspects but now I read text with various aspects. I have to differentiate between what I was then and what I am now.I am surprised that such things are writing by me .now ,I understand that it was my ignorance or lack of knowle todge of critical thinking.and I'm free Thinker.I am  individual now.Ican think good for myself.now I have my Owen modalities and own society.

       I study "Hairy ape", "the bluestse  eye","all my son" in my b.a but I couldn't study these texts with its deep reflection of the American society. I just studies it's theatrical or  aspects.but we write about these to with different perspective.

        The Namesake Novel by Jhumpa Lahiri teaches me that how one can feel when they are far away from their own culture and importance of cultures.

       William Shakespeare and his tragedies are all time favorite of me. It gives aesthetic delight and at the end because of Catharsis, purgation of emotion happens and we feel relax and calm. Christopher Marlowe and his work Doctor Faustus teaches about exaggeration of Knowledge leads towards tragedy of human being. Paradise Lost Book by John Milton has great influence over my mind for argumentative discourse and critical thinking. Gulliver’s Travels, Robinson Crusoe and Tom Jones reflects society, politics, master slave relationships and all that bad things happens in society which is not known at surface level. Aristotle and Plato both has great influence in my mind as a base of critical thinking and philosophical thoughts.

        To the "Lighthouse " by Virginia Woolf proved me once again that, "Women Can Paint, Women Can Write" and much better then male can do. Her style of writing proves this statement.

     Some novels like, Arvind Adiga’s The White Tiger teaches about real and ugly look of our own society. X-ray."The girl in room 105" I like this book.it is full of unlove story.

    There are so many definitions of literature and generally the most fat definition.... Literature is mirror of society.but now ,I can't digest only this definition because the same time .... literature is x-ray image of society.If literature is able to give pleasant movement of life . It is equal able to frightened anybody. It reflects the darker side of society then only show the shining.It is mixed of the fact and fiction.write tell stories which is not accepted in the society.the thing is ignored and avoided in the society .it becomes the central theme of literature.

       Literature given the liberty and freedom . But society which is prohibited or banning the things will never bild the healthy society.some time I thay an outside in society.where Avery body in not able to digest such things. But now I easilly define the thing what is good and what is bad for me as individual thinker.

          Literature help me to find myself who am I? I feel that with reading book with the journey of literature.i also grown up with more morality cultivated the habit or thinkit and understanding human behaviour and hman natural easily.

           At the end I would like to say that this journey of literature is the best journey of my life and I will never forget this journey. I am always thankful to this journey for making my life so beautiful and so different. This journey plays very vital role in building of my personality and this is how Literature plays very vital role in shaping of myself from socialist to free thinker and individual.

                     " I love literature"

 

                               So, this is all about How Literature Shaped Me ? and How Literature Shaped My Whole Life in New Direction.

After these 3 year of b.a I could devlop critical thinking as well as the argumentative capability . Understand the worth of free thinking as earlier we were not use to do it .we just learnt what our proffesor and teachers taught us.

          Literature makes human beings those who read it only. It is the self help to be good human being in the society. One can suggest only to read it can't read it instead of others. If you want to feel the changes , you must read literature. It is amazing experience of my life to know or to read myself with literature.
