LITERATURE CURRENT STATES IN 21st CENTURY

Christoffer Malowe

Literature is an imaginative or creative writing, especially of recognized artistic value. In this article i will like to share my view on this new generation literature student. majority of the student their attention have been shifted from real literary acts to what i call visual genre.

Literature was highly honored and embraced in the past, cos its the sole of entertainment. Many thanks to the great Shuruppak and Urukagina (both live in 27th and 24th century B.C) the earliest literatist (literature author).
Literature was redefined in 15th century by some great writer, poets, actors e.g Miguel De Cervantes (Spain), William Shakespeare (England), Christopher Marlowe (England), Molie (French), Ben Johnson (England), and lots more.
Professor Wole Soyinka
Through their believes in this work of art, lots of great people have rise and rise. Meanwhile literature was highly celebrated in 18th and 19th Century. It is because majority of old and ancient literary works was brought back to life.

William Shakespeare
19th century was a blessing to literary world, cos lot of greats literature writers,actors,poets was discovered. e.g John Milton, Albert Eistein,Walter de Lama re, Maya Angelou, Phillis Wheatley (the slave poet), Prof. Wole Soyinka, Banjo Paterson, Chinua Achebe, Seth Abrahamson, Brooks Gwendolyn, Eady Cornelius, Milton Accorn, Chris Abani, Muhammed Alli, Tupac Amar Shakur, Kofi Awonoor William, and lots of great literatist.
And this great people make literature more interesting. But my concern is that 21st century literature generation interest on this great work is low cos their attention have been shifted to visual genres. e.g contemporary musics, sci-fi films, and so on. Am not condemning any field or career, but what i feel is that literature give birth to this new stuff and should not be forgotten so fast.
Albert Einstein
Literature is the heart of entertainment and real literary work cannot fade that is what make it (The Culture), its natural. "Literature is an immortal culture practiced by mortals". Together we can make it work, if we believe in ourselves, we can surpass those legends and create our own style. Thanks
