Necessary Fiction

1. What can literature’s do to a country's national development?

Literature is a body of written works and a country’s national literature


helps define a national identity. It even reflects a country’s culture most of
the time. Now, what can literature’s do to a country’s national
development.

Let’s use Dr. Jose Rizal works as an example to how literature makes
the national development possible. Dr. Jose Rizal once said that the youth
is the hope of our future. The Rizal Bill and his literary works are seen as a
great help to the young Filipino people to develop a national character.
Rizal’s writing, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, are one of the
outstanding literature that helps the youth nowadays. It is not just Rizal’s
but also a lot of writers work that influence us to develop nationalism and
patriotism. Literature holds an important position to the significance of
one’s society, culture and nation. Literature is literally made to create a
potential for the readers to gain new insights that will inspire everyone to
make a change happen. The emergence of a national literature becomes
essential in order to fulfill the goal of national development.

2. Why do authors/writers use literary fiction in expressing their views and


ideas?

One distinct characteristic of literary fiction is it is character-driven.


Every act in the story affects the main character or characters, and
understanding those effects is the goal of telling the story. Literary fiction is
always a study of the human condition and often an exploration of difficult
social or political problems that determine our lives.

The main motive of why authors/ writers uses literary fiction on their work is its
because it allows them to deal with contemporary social issues. Let’s use
Rizal’s work again as an example. Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo is
considered a literary fiction written by Dr. Jose Rizal to addressed the
situation of the Filipino’s under the Spanish era. His work started a revolution
that opens the mind of his fellow Filipino citizens. He conveyed the story
creatively while integrating the actual crisis of the spaniards colonization in
our country that has been going on for way too long
