LITERATURE, BETWEEN IMAGINATION AND FACT

By: Suwito

Some people stills consider unimportant about literature. Some people stills to look at half eye in literature. Even less work in the world of literature can not menjaji money directly! Wow…, more consider unimportant what called literature writer, or artist other related to literature.

That's fact whom we see, feel, and natural everyday. Especially for man of letters (literature writer), usually artist that touch direct or not direct with literature. Literature not give matter or abundant property for who elaborate literature world.

There one who consider unimportant literature with consider that only imagination. Easier literature is written compared scientific work. Opinion a kind of this is me cover in a word follow.

Literature ' Only' Imagination

Really true, literature result from the writer imagination. Short story, poetry, novel, tale, and of a kind it only result from imagination. Not fact. Because only imagination then there consider unimportant. Even less literature doesn't produce money in gross, so more consider unimportant. More humiliated!

But question, how if literature only based on that imagination in the form of novel, then be bestseller? Does person "dare" consider unimportant also? How if that literature in the form of novel, then made to be movie, so that famous in all the world? What still there that consider it as a work unimportant? How also if there a writer wealthy sudden? Does permanent consider unimportant?

Thereby, if thought according to truth, one who consider unimportant a literature, also all at once consider unimportant literature writer, so that man necessary loved! Why?

Because big possibility that man belong one who can not think!

Literature and Fact

Literature can not get out of fact. Literature is written based on fact. Imagination a literature author can not get out of fact. Literature author one who alive at world. He stands on under the sun. So him write certain based on fact exist in world. He writes literature based on fact exist in earth.

Fact stepping for literature author to write literature shaped imagination. Imagination a permanent literature author based on fact.

But imagination a literature author can not be assumed unimportant. Imagination a man of letters can not be assumed light. Why? That imagination is elaborated in the form of literature is written after pass process exhaustively alive meaning. Literature author see fact. Then he is menyikapi that fact is in the form of literature. Then he gives criticism, review, and various completion that can be taken human in face of the alive problem.

Thereby clear that one who can not appreciate literature belongs one who can not think. This person is may be doesn't know, or Doesn't want to know, That literature has that imagination is written based on fact.
