00:0-1	Hello , everyone . And welcome to this presentation about
00:03	texts about literature on about drama . My name is
00:08	Dipoto Anderson and I teach English at the business High
00:11	school . Happened off you don't want and I have
00:16	divided this presentation to two points . First part would
00:19	be about texts and Patricia General what it is in
00:25	the second part , I'm gonna go a bit deeper
00:27	into something techniques that are used in literature on more
00:31	specifically in drama . But let's get started . Um
00:39	, texts you can divide into four groups for categories
00:43	. They can either be informative , descriptive , instructive
00:47	or persuasive . Andi , I'm gonna take one ,
00:51	take them one by one and go in this informative
00:56	texts advice or tell you about something . Um ,
01:02	it might be such a thing as a newspaper article
01:04	, which can give you information about health issues such
01:08	as giving up smoking , which is a very good
01:11	idea . By the way . You could also be
01:13	a website that gives you information about the movie ,
01:16	a band or something that you're interested in . And
01:19	it could also be the hand up from school about
01:22	a study trip you're going on on . It will
01:25	give you details and information about this study trip ,
01:28	so informative texts inform you about the next category on
01:34	the descriptive texts , descriptive texts . I want you
01:40	to picture what they're describing . And a novel ,
01:44	for instance , might want you to imagine the characters
01:47	and see them in your mind . A travel book
01:51	will want to see the country it is describing ,
01:54	um , so novels , short stories plays all these
01:59	things generally fit in the in the category of descriptive
02:04	texts . Such texts . Such descriptive text . They
02:08	usually make use of adjectives and adverbs . Use comparisons
02:13	to help the picture , what it's trying to describe
02:17	, and it will employ your five senses . How
02:19	it feels , smells , how it looks , sounds
02:23	and how it tastes . The next category are the
02:29	instructive texts they instruct you or tell you how to
02:34	do something . For instance , of recipe . The
02:37	recipe wants to instruct you how to cook something or
02:41	bake a loaf of bread . You can also have
02:46	a leaflet that comes with a piece of furniture that
02:49	wants to tell you how to put it together or
02:51	take care of it from like a You know ,
02:54	for instance , instructive texts are written as though the
02:58	reader is being spoken to . Yeah , we don't
03:01	normally used the work . You in the text the
03:05	instructor texts , but you're being spoken to the languages
03:08	direct and unnecessary Works left out the word must or
03:15	must not are often used can have diagrams or pictures
03:20	that are used to help you understanding the message .
03:26	Persuasive texts want you to do something , and ,
03:33	as you can see , there's this . Adhere from
03:37	Heinz Tomato ketchup . Very old pad . Had them
03:41	. If this at what you to buy something .
03:43	It is trying to persuade you into buying the product
03:48	. Um , so , um , you can also
03:53	, for instance , right letter to a friend that
03:57	you watch cool on a holiday with to try to
04:02	persuade him into going with you . Or you can
04:04	try and write the letter to get off the parking
04:07	tickets . So these are examples of persuasive texts in
04:11	persuasive texts . There will be repeated words , text
04:16	in capital letters , exclamation marks , rhetorical questions ,
04:21	which are questions where no answer is needed and they're
04:24	generally an emotional one . Sided arguments . They're not
04:27	really objective . Text them or subjective , um ,
04:34	playing with people's emotions that use humor , humorous weapon
04:39	in . It's not actually quite strong when you want
04:44	to sell something , For instance , persuade people into
04:46	selling . Yes . So these were the four categories
04:51	. So let's go into the next big question here
04:54	because people ask is then everything literature , Our every
04:58	text is every text you could find literature . And
05:03	when we answer that question , we need to understand
05:05	that there are actually different definitions off with literature .
05:10	I'm going to keep you three . I'm gonna mention
05:12	three definitions in the last one I'm gonna mention is
05:15	the one that's more generally accepted as the That's the
05:20	one we use today . But I'm gonna mention the
05:23	other ones as well . Um , the world literature
05:26	actually comes from the Latin literature , which means a
05:30	letter . And so if you have , you can
05:35	have a broad definition , that is , then that
05:38	, uh , it's just a written work with Lexus
05:41	in it . Something would let us in with them
05:44	according to this broad definition to literature . Actually ,
05:48	we can have an even broader definition because work literally
05:51	, which means that it But it also means a
05:53	symbol , and a sculpture could then also be literature
05:57	. Since the sculpture could be a symbol thes two
06:01	definitions . Block definitions are , however , not very
06:05	much use or accepted . People generally tend to talk
06:09	about literature , uh , with a more narrow definition
06:16	, and the most more narrow and most widely accepted
06:19	definition is that it's creative writing off recognized artistic value
06:24	. I'm just gonna repeat that because it's important creative
06:28	writing off recognized artistic value . So this means that
06:32	when you talk about literature on what it is ,
06:36	this really literature , then it needs to be creative
06:39	, and it needs to be in writing gets us
06:42	in a book , for instance , and it needs
06:45	to be recognized by people as something that has some
06:48	value within the arts , no creative writing or recognized
06:51	artistic value . And that means that way , normally
06:55	have to make a distinction between literature and more ordinary
06:58	pieces off text . So , for instance , an
07:01	ad is not literature literature . There are three big
07:09	groups of literature . Poetry , prose and drama ,
07:13	poetry or poems . They often have a specific formal
07:17	structure with verse , metaphors , meter syllables and rhythm
07:22	. Maybe this rhyme and alliteration such as Peter Piper
07:28	picked a peck of pickled peppers that would be little
07:31	ation or tigers took title today , concede the repetition
07:36	of letters that would be a liberation . But then
07:38	again , poetry . Sometimes , uh , it's more
07:42	free , has free verse , and then it kind
07:46	of does not have a specific former structure . Always
07:48	, but normally does have specific formal structure pros than
07:54	this . Not have any specific former structure . And
07:58	many things such as essays , novels , articles ,
08:02	philosophy fit in this group . Off pros . Um
08:08	, actually , if we take poetry and prose there
08:12	, there is an Xterra like samples off mixtures .
08:15	For instance , the Icelandic pro songs from the 11th
08:17	century . They bridge early poetry with early pros .
08:21	So sometimes you actually have a mixture drama than um
08:27	, drama is generally dialogue right between characters and when
08:35	drama is really is generally generally aims at theater performances
08:39	. Well , reading Um , for instance , Shakespeare
08:44	. Shakespeare wrote his place such as Romeo and Juliet
08:48	. Yeah , in order for them to be performed
08:52	on stage , however , we do read Shakespeare Spell
08:56	and Shakespeare's plays are generally viewed as Yes , sir
09:02	, top literature . However , it's not only met
09:07	for the stage today , drama is also we have
09:12	drama teeny movies . Um , and a fine example
09:21	was that in 1933 before they had television . People
09:26	used to listen to the radio on . And there
09:29	was this 1931 radio drama play that was called War
09:35	of the Worlds , which was about aliens invading the
09:39	world . Andi , it was very popular , but
09:42	people sometimes thought that it was . They confused it
09:48	with news . So because it was on the radio
09:52	. Normally you have news on the radio , and
09:54	people thought that Oh , my God , we're being
09:56	invaded by aliens . And people ran screaming into the
09:59	streets thinking that the world has come to an end
10:03	. So that's a funny example of how drama sometimes
10:08	is confused with news . Well , um , I
10:18	think that for now I'm going to stop this presentation
10:23	and I'll see you in the next section , which
10:27	will then be about liberal techniques on . We're gonna
10:34	go either into drama . So thank you for listening
10:37	on Hope to see you . If you could say
10:41	that in the next pot
