Jonathan culler stated that not everything can be considered literature but it is called literariness which is a non-literary phenomena  and an example he gives is history. When we read a normal form of literature we learned that most stories have beginning climax and end that’s how we learned throughout our years in school,  but now I learned that this is not tru, an example fuller gives is with historians. He proceeds to tell us how historians don’t have a predictive explanation based with science they can’t really show you how two things will necessary lead to one outcome

Another example he  talks about is taking a text book and making pass as a novel or taking things out of a yellow book or sentences from random places yes they are readable but it doesn’t mean they are considered literature
