I feel like on my essay I did we'll in explaining the literary techniques when talking about how the relate to the theme.

SPRING POST 1: MUSIC AS LITERATURE

- I think that based on the definition that I found for literature that music is definitely considered literature because literature is known for being a writing that uses verses and expresses ideas in new ways.

- I think we define literature as being a form of writing in a certain language or time that expresses thoughts and experiences.

- The difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony is the genre and the specific way each author uses words, writing, and rhythm to to show their personal style for all different people to enjoy and understand who the author really is.
