What is Literature

After reading the chapter ‘What is Literature and does it matter’, I still believe that literature VS non literature cannot be distinguished by anyone besides the creator of the piece, and if an outsider can, I believe they must know every single fact about to piece down to where the original thought about the creation of the piece came from. The way the author of this reading describes the two is almost as if they rely on each other to become one. Cullen also says that the word ‘literature’ isnt just a word, it is used to describe many things, i agree with this. I believe literature is used to create non literature.

A question that stood out to me is in fact “What is Literature and does it matter”. I say this because even still, I couldnt describe the difference between literature and non literature. DOES it matter???
