APPENDICES

DISCUSSION
Literature in English refers to written works, especially those considered to have artistic or intellectual value. It
includes various forms such as novels, short stories, plays, poetry, and essays. English literature spans different
periods and styles, from the early works of Geoffrey Chaucer to contemporary authors like Zadie Smith. It
explores human experiences, emotions, culture, and society, often reflecting or challenging the world around it.
Literature also involves studying language, narrative techniques, symbolism, and the development of characters
and themes.

Example of literary works:

1.Novels:
A novel is a long, fictional narrative that typically explores complex characters, themes, and plots. It is a prose
work of considerable length, usually over 40,000 words, and can encompass a wide range of genres, such as
romance, mystery, fantasy, historical fiction, and more. Novels delve into detailed stories and often focus on
character development, societal issues, or emotional journeys.

Example:
The Harry Potter series is a fantasy series by J.K. Rowling that follows the life of Harry Potter, a young wizard
who attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

2.Plays:
A play is a form of drama written to be performed by actors on a stage. Plays consist of dialogue and action,
divided into acts and scenes. The focus is often on conflict, character interactions, and dramatic tension, and
plays can explore a range of emotions and themes.

Example:
Romeo and Juliet is a famous play by William Shakespeare that tells the story of two young lovers from feuding
families. The play is considered a classic example of Shakespeare's early dramatic writing.

3.Short Stories:
A short story is a brief work of fiction that typically focuses on a single event or character. Short stories are
usually under 20,000 words and can convey a concise, impactful narrative. They often focus on a pivotal
moment in a character's life and are designed to evoke a strong emotional or intellectual response in a short
amount of time.

Example:
"The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant, is a story of a beautiful young woman born to a non-wealthy family;
she marries but dreams of an affluent life. Unfortunately, these dreams of a different life eventually lead to her
downfall

IMPORATANCE OF LITERATURE

Literature is important because it serves as a mirror to human experience, reflecting the values,
struggles, and triumphs of individuals and societies. It preserves cultural history, traditions, and beliefs, passing
them down through generations. By presenting diverse characters and perspectives, literature fosters empathy
and understanding, allowing readers to connect with experiences outside their own reality. It encourages critical
thinking by challenging readers to analyze complex themes, characters, and moral dilemmas, and it nurtures
imagination and creativity through its exploration of fantastical worlds and ideas.

The Peasant, the Buffalo and the Tiger: A Tale of Strength and Wisdom
A long time ago, when animals still had the power of speech, the buffalo used to have sharp front teeth
while the mighty tiger was a pure golden beast. A young peasant was resting under a mango tree one fine
afternoon. He and his water buffalo had plowed the rice field the whole morning and stopped for a while to
have something to eat. While the buffalo grazed and the peasant is enjoying his meal, a tiger came up to the
buffalo, demanding answers for something that had puzzled him for a long time now. "I have watched you
every day from the edge of the forest," the tiger said, "I noticed the quite curious spectacle of your toil. How is
it possible that, that Man, a small and upright being who neither has great strength, sharp vision or a keen sense
of smell manages to lead you and make you work for him? You are ten times heavier and stronger. Your horns
are sharp enough to cut him and your hooves are mighty enough to trample him. The only weapon he carries is
a flimsy bamboo stick, yet he rules you and you never run away. "Calmly, the water buffalo answered, "I have
not been able to solve that puzzle myself, mighty tiger. No matter how I ponder the situation, I only know of
one thing. I can never free myself from his mastery. Whatever power he possesses, only he has knowledge of it.
Eager to have such powers, the tiger resolved to ask the peasant. If he could rule all animals like how the man
ruled the buffalo, he would no longer need to hunt for food. Instead, he could just order the animals to come and
then choose a suitable meal. "Please tell me, Mr. Farmer, what power do you have over the buffalo that makes
him obey you so willingly?" the tiger asked the peasant. "I will tell you, mighty tiger," he answered, "I possess
something that allows me to rule over all animals, making them do as I say. It is called wisdom." "I would do
anything to see this amazing thing you call wisdom. Would you be kind enough to show it to me?" asked the
tiger. "Unfortunately, I left it at home. Wisdom is too precious for me to carry around the fields. Instead, I keep
it in a gilded box carved with dragons and a golden phoenix to make sure it's well protected. But if you want it
so badly, I can go back and fetch it for you." replied the young peasant. Delighted by the peasant's words, the
tiger agreed. "I will gladly stay and watch over your water buffalo while you are gone." But the young man said,
"I have heard your stomach rumble and I am greatly concerned over the possibility that you might eat my
buffalo while I am gone. I have great need of it in my daily work. If you agree, I will tie you to a tree so my
mind will be free. Then I would willingly go get the wisdom you want to see." Eager to see wisdom so badly,
the tiger was willing to agree to anything. He strolled up to the palm tree, held up his legs and said, "Go ahead
and tie me up." So the farmer passed ropes around his body, secured him tightly to the palm tree and left. But
sly as the tiger was, he planned on jumping on the man when he returns to untie him. He then, would eat his
water buffalo, take his magic box of wisdom, and spend the rest of his days commanding the cows and dears
and the delicious wild boars to come and be eaten as his meal. He would never have to hunt for food again.
Soon after, the farmer returned carrying bundles of straws behind his back. Eagerly, the tiger asked, "Did you
bring the wisdom for me to see?" "Oh yes, foolish tiger, and I am about to show you." replied the peasant. "I
never keep my wisdom in a box, it is here in my head all along. Now I will teach you to stay away from my
precious water buffalo." He then piled the straws around the tiger, and with a burning torch, he set them on fire.
The tiger roared in pain and raged as the ropes burned around his golden body. As the air filled with smell of
the tiger's singed fur and as the fire burned through the ropes, the beast finally managed to free himself. He
quickly leaped away from the flames and dashed into the jungle. The sight of this spectacle amused the buffalo
so greatly that he laughed so hard and fell, hitting his mouth against a rock. This caused the buffalo to knock all
his front teeth out. Though his burns have healed after some time, the tiger could no longer rid himself of the
long black stripes that now circle his golden body. But most importantly, the tiger realized that his strength
could never defeat man who has wisdom he knew he could never have. Up to this day, the tiger has his stripes
and the water buffalo never grew back his teeth.
