What is American Literature?

     I think American literature are all about hope. Even though some people argues that American literature is extension of British literature, I think that American literature is unique because they are so hopeful even when American writers are writing about the darker ages that Americans went through such as civil war and black slavery. I think the American writers see the God as holy giver of everything so if they have faith on themselves, whatever they want will succeed. I think that is why a lot of American literature deals with religion and the eager of freedom. Furthermore I think American literature contains distinctive style that differs from other region's literature. The most unique style of American literature of what I think is that they are realistic. Some people might argue that American literature are realistic because they are contains mostly about true based stories. However, even when they depict ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances it feels so realistic that it makes me think that it might be a true story of America. The things that I have mentioned was only two small characteristics of American literature. There are so many more uniqueness to American literature. That is why people get attracts to it and cannot stop reading it.
