Include precise language and literary terms.

"That's what literature is. It’s the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death! Listen to them!"

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We are going to interpret the quotation and explain how it applies to literature but from our perspective, because we do not know what is kind of literature you read. You did not mention it.

"That's what literature is. It’s the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death! Listen to them!"

This is a clever quote that refers to the importance of literature written in the past that was written to transcend the test of time.

The only way to know the past is through history and the people and events that were part of that human history.

Literature plays a key role because through literature we can read books, messages, poems, stories, passages, and more, of how people live, how they thought, the belief systems they had, their culture, customs, and traditions.

So in order to understand the present we have to learn from the past. That is a good way to make things happen in the future, eliminating the mistakes made in the past.

That is why the quote ends with the words "listen to them." Because these people lived, learned, suffered, and received many things in their lifetimes that can be useful for us in the now moment. If we are willing and able to pay attention to what these authors said and wrote, we can learn many things about different topics that will create new learning and to have a much better perspective of why some things are still repeated instead of improving them to avoid the consequences that made people suffer in the past.

For instance, we can read the book "The Prince," by Italian Machiavello, to try to understand why kings of European monarchies were ruthless and cruel when ruling their kingdoms. Many leaders and politicians followed Machiavelli's ideas event today, to learn about the nature of humans, including greed, and the desire for power and control.

So you will have to create an introduction and conclusion, and try to revise it a bit so it sounds more like yourself.

Explanation:

"That's what literature is. It’s the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death! Listen to them!"

This is a powerful quotation that helps bring perspective to literature and the people who came before us. We see a strong tone of urging form the narrator, an urgent call for us to pay attention to what others say in literature. When the narrator says "tapping messages from the past...beyond the grave...life and death..", it shows us that there is much more to reading and literature than simply the words and sentences.

We see that everyone before us who wrote about their stories and experiences have something to say to us. We are urged to use these resources, these timelines from the past. We have access to the knowledge of someone who came before us. We have the chance to learn and know more, through the experiences of other people. When someone uses the chance to give knowledge, we must take it and use it.

It truly is a great gift to have so much literature to study and learn from. All the knowledge from past generations, history and stories, thoughts and emotions. All of this is available to us, and yet so many pass up the opportunity. I urge you to pick up a book, read a poem, and think about what it means. Think about how amazing it is that someone long dead, someone from the past, has just been able to connect with you through words. Something so unimaginable can be brought into the light, and you have the chance to experience it.

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.
