The word ‘Literature’ is really hard to define. Many interpretations are made about the word. But all are incomplete. Some opine that literature is the mirror of life; some others say that it is the criticism of life. Whatever may be the controversy about the word, we may say that literature is that which reflects life. The branches of literature are poetry, drama, novel and short stories. Poetry is of two kinds, imaginative and realistic. Drama is either a comedy or a tragedy. Novels are also of many kinds, historical, psychological, realistic, scientific and regional. Short story is that one which stands very close to life in spite of a little scope.
