When I think of a literary work and compare it to the relationship with life, the Bible is the first piece that comes to mind. The Bible is abundantly full of literary technique. It can be read historically, theologically, or quietly, where the reader can relate to the human experience. The Bible as a literary anthology, or collection of literary passages, tells the story of humanity; it is a story of tradition that reveals the present. This is the view from the eyes of Christians, and a relationship to the human experience. As an anthology, the Bible shares similarities with other anthologies: many authors, different genres, and an organization strategy based on genre groupings and historical chronology. Archetypes play an important factor in the relationship between life and literature. Archetypes are the building blocks of literature and help identify the quality of the text. Once the reader is aware of the archetypes, it is easier to help unify the Bible. This is because we as humans relate one instance of an archetype to another, helping us relate to a personal experience. This also makes the Bible a universal piece of literature. Another literary fact that makes the Bible universal and more unified is the fact that it can be divided into hundreds of different types of genres and subcategories of those genres. Writers throughout the Bible reference a variety of literary genres in which they write: proverb, fiction, poetry, exposé, prophecy, parable, song, and many others. Not only do the writers of the Bible refer to and relate to this diversity and variety of genres, but so do the readers. Some genres correspond to the culture surrounding the authors and the literary forms of the time. This is an aspect... in the center of the paper... the characters who in normal settings perform actions that can easily be traced back to a human being. Expository writing provides us with the guideline; literature provides us with the example and the relationship. Literature and life are very easily connected, especially if you look for it or if you look for aspects of what really constitutes literature. When I think about literature and life, the Bible is the first piece I easily identify with. This is mainly due to the fact that I know what aspects make up literature and how they are presented in a text. The Bible can be a casual read, an exchange of narratives and viewpoints, a historical study, a lifestyle guideline, a book of philosophies, theories, or prophecies, a work of art, or simply an interpretation of what a group of people thought at a specific time. There are many aspects of literacy and the relationship with man and life, and this is clearly evident in the Bible.
