THEORY

-



A book is a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers or is a set of written sheets of skin paper or tablets of wood or ivory. (www.oxford dictiory, 2006). Theory is a formal idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain something (www.collinsdictionary.com, 2016). Or theory is a set of interrelated concepts, definitions, and propositions that explains or predicts events or situation by specifying relation among variables. Furthermore theory is a body of ideas, concepts, or principle put forward to explain the facts events or general. On my own view a first person who thought about the meaning of literature has fetched the ideas from theory and not from book; I support my view by the following reasons.
Thought is an idea or opinion produced by thinking or occurring suddenly in the mind. Whereby thinking is action of using mind to produce ideas thus theory is critical and common sense then therefore it is obvious that a person cannot think about something by fetching the ideas from the book rather he or she will use common sense which is equivalent to theory.
Theory carries underlying principles, which one might say the tools by which we attempt to understand literature, so when one wants to give the meaning of something he or she must follow the underlying principle because are the one which gives way forward and demarcation or guideline, it is like a tool for anyone to produce something better. Therefore a first person who thought about meaning of literatures has fetched the ideas from the theory as it was underlying principle for giving clear meaning.
It is theories which carry literary interpretation, and it serves justification for different kinds of critical activity, thus for a person to give clear meaning of literature he or she should lay on theory because theory is analytical and speculative and because theory is the approved ideas then it is easiest to use theory in revealing, forming and interpreting idea and meaning of things and object at all.
Through theory a person formulates an idea about literatures how it works and how it means. So it is very easier for a person to think and formulates the meaning of something through theory rather than book as it is simple for a person to develop a new idea with the use of theory so definitely a first person who thought about the meaning of literature has fetched the idea from the theory.
            Theory is about thinking, it offers understanding of different phenomena because it is an inquire in its categories, we use in making sense of things. Thinking goes perpendicular with sense and sense is about thinking whereby theory is reflective hence a first person who thought about the meaning of literature has fetched the ideas from theory.
There are literary theories which define literature, as far as the questions concerns the following are some literary theory which defines literature;
Structuralism theory this theory means that literary work’s meaning should come from the structure of the language used to create a text. That means literature is works of art which produces meaning through checking language structure that is the psyche and the language of the society. This is the meaning of literature according to structuralism theory which was propagated by Ferdinand De Saussure; therefore this proves the view meaning of literature was fetched from theory.
Deconstructualism theory or post structuralism theory; This theory means that literary works meaning is created out of differences, this is to say that literature is a work of art which have multiple layers of meaning , that is the meaning comes from different angle and not only the language. This is a meaning of literature according to post structuralism theory which was propagated by Jacque Derrida. Therefore this proves that the first person who thought the meaning of literature fetched the idea from theory.
Formalism theory; this theory means that literary work is not a mirror which reflect the society, t the meaning of literature does not bare the external factor of it, that is to say no matter the literary work have not reflected the society but critics should concern with the literariness of literature that is the  language used in a text.
Generally thoughts starts in a mind, in order to give the meaning of something you must associate the theory and your thought so as to measure the correctness of the meaning you want to deliver or expose, further more a person cannot think  by taking ideas from book because a book is full of written document which is already exposed ideas from preceding person or from other people who have thought and put it in writings, on top of that  the first ideas starts from mind and not in a book, the ideas starts in mind and after being formulated and proved that they are correct is when then can be written.
