a. What five purposes might traditional literature have served when it was created?
*They create literature to entertain, to preserve, to recount important or people from
history, to teach values to the readers, to caution against dangers and to inspire young
readers.
b. Why might we say that traditional literature stories have no authors?
*They say they have no authors because they were originally made orally and not
written, until later time.
c. Characters in traditional literature are typically “flat and static”. What does that mean?
*This characters come out in the stories even though these characters don’t express
their personality, feelings and thought.
d. Characters in traditional literature are also typically stereotypical. What does that
mean?
*It means that people often relate the ugly with bad and the beauty with good. But they
have made stories when the beauty has an ugly inside and the ugly have a good heart.
For example, in the story of the hunchback of Notre dame.
