On page 19 Frye states that "A writer's desire to write can only have come from previous experiences of literature." I agree with this statement because if literature is something you have not come across before writing would not a possibility. There would be no sense of beginning middle and end. The ability to create a story would not be able to form. It is us seeing models and previous works of literature that allows our mind to evolve what we have to say into a story. Literature from other writers helps other writers develop their own. One thing that I disagree about with this statement is that the original creator of literature had no model to base his literature too. So until literature was developed around the world, writers made their own sense of literature.

  1. That's a good question... Where did it originally come from? Such is the age old question of the origin of mythology, philosophy and faith. Good post.
