What is literature?. I always remember our great artists and historians who used their ideas and their experiences to unite our nation and countrymen, it is a compilation of written works of their imagination or even their experiences to create a story. The picture is an artist of the Philippines, and that is Francis Magalona. and the picture says a being a "famous" not the person itself, because for me literature is an works of a person or people, ofcourse some of us is want to gain something to become famous so we look up to our great artists, because great written works id based to the experiences. Thefore, literature is also based to our feelings, because it can pass the idea to our mind. I idolized Francis Magalona, because of his songs that attract the hearts of the Filipino to unite us, and to become an inspirations to all of us, to serve as the peacemaker by using his music. Like his song "Mga kababayan". When you read the lyrics and the message of the song you will inspire as a Filipino to become conciuos to our country and to our fellow countrymen.
