	Literature
		Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" (as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary), but has generally come to identify a collection of texts.
		A great deal of historical writing can still be called literature, as can a great deal of journalism; but these areas have become extremely large, and often their purpose is just utilitarian: to record data or convey immediate information.
		As a result the writing in these fields is not as a rule literary, although it often and in its better moments is. Major historians include Herodotus, Thucydides, Procopius, all of whom are considered canonical literary figures.

		This paper discusses heroin, a powerful, highly addictive drug that is derived from opium, which was first synthesized from morphine in the 1890s and was initially considered to be an effective pain killer and cough suppressant.
		By playing the heroine, Esther, like her counterpart in the Song of Solomon, is urging her beloved to break one law, and risk subverting others, all in the name of the few against the many.
		Anne is treated as the heroine of the novel; however, a heroine is a woman who takes risks and makes decisions in order to control her life's destiny, not one who passively waits for her fate.

		Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary ; the term has, however, generally come to identify a collection of texts.
		Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characterss.
		Some recent philosophy undoubtedly merits the title "literature" — the work of Wittgenstein, for example, does; but much of it does not, and some areas, such as logic, have become extremely technical to the same degree as the sciences.

		Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary; the term has, however, generally come to identify a collection of texts.
		The word "literature" spelled with a lower-case "l" can refer to any form of writing, such as essays; while "Literature" spelled with an upper-case "L" may refer to a whole body of literary work, world-wide or relating to a specific culture.
		Typically though, poetry as a form of literature makes some significant use of the formal properties of the words it uses — these properties being attached to the written or spoken form of the words, rather than to their meaning.

	Exploring the Function of Heroes and Heroines in Children's Literature from around the World. ERIC Digest.
		Through heroes and heroines of different cultures, children develop an understanding of societal expectations and norms in various parts of the world (Stan, 2002; Tomlinson, 1998), and what it can mean to live in a particular region, or time period, or to be male or female (Rockman, 1993).
		Heroes and heroines in good literature are portrayed as complex individuals, so it is necessary to analyze them in a holistic manner by paying special attention to the interplay of both positive and negative traits.
		Heroes and heroines are best understood and appreciated when viewed within the social contexts in which their lives played out.

	Airborne Heroines: Page 1
		The transformation of the airborne heroine is striking, speaking loudly to changes in American culture and the aviation industry; nowhere is it more apparent than in a study of the many roles she played in popular fiction.
		The airborne heroine and her cultural usefulness as a moral, intelligent, and professional role model disappeared in the late sixties, when she traded her heroic values for a robe of a modern sex goddess, fashioned with hot pants, hooker boots, and the barely-there skirt.
		Questions of how the narrative of the airborne heroine conveyed contemporary images of women in their cultural roles as well as their advancement in the airline industry will be examined, and a comparison of these themes with non-fiction personal narratives will be explored along the way.

		Literature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)").
