Would you consider the novel, "The Second Summer of the Sisterhood," literature?

Question

I have to write an essay about a book I read over summer.

I have to briefly summarize the book and then talk about whether or not we consider the book to be literature.

Although it should be my personal opinion.. I still need a little help deciding. I guess I'm a bit confused what makes something "literature."

Answer 1

Um yes.... all books are 'literature'.  

Answer 2

ummm well o thought it was a good book - i didn't see the movie though... but the point is i think that litature is simply a book so unless you're talking about the movie yeah it's litature

Answer 3

1. writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays.  

2. the entire body of writings of a specific language, period, people, etc.: the literature of England.  

3. the writings dealing with a particular subject: the literature of ornithology.  

4. the profession of a writer or author.  

5. literary work or production.  

6. any kind of printed material, as circulars, leaflets, or handbills: literature describing company products.  

7. Archaic. polite learning; literary culture; appreciation of letters and books.

Yes, it would be considered literature. All books are. Maybe you were thinking of something else? If so you should edit your question a little. :)

Hope this helped.

Since I am such a huge fan of the Sisterhood series, I'd also like to recommend the Twilight saga. Very amazing. The entire series is.

TWILIGHT, NEW MOON, ECLIPSE, BREAKING DAWN, MIDNIGHT SUN. All by Stephenie Meyer.

Answer 4

I would consider almost all books literature. The book was good, and it will be a simple thing to summarize.

Look up literature and read the different definitions on www.dictionary.com and it might help you out a bit in your decision.

Answer 5

Yes, it would be a great source of literature.

THe book is good, and clear- easy to summarize. Its a good series, but Im not all that into Kostos, who was Lena's boyfriend.
