  • CHAPTER II REVIEW of RELATED LITERATURE This Chapter Presents
    CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This chapter presents the result of reviewing of some theories that are relevant to the problem. The literature review consist of the concept of literature, song, lyric, figurative language, meaning, message, Christina Perri, and Previous Study. A. The Concept of Literature Literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. The term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction. According to Cambridge Dictionary Third Edition, literature is “written artistic works, especially those with a high and lasting artistic value”. Literature does not lead itself to a single definition because the making of it over the century has been as complex and natural as the life itself. Some expert have different opinion on their definitions of literature regarding time and social condition. According to Meyer (1988:1) literature is a term used to describe written texts marked by careful use of language, including features such as creative metaphors, well-turned phrases, elegant syntax, rhyme, alliteration, which are aesthetically read or intended by the author to be aesthetically read 9 and are deliberately somewhat open in interpretation. According to Oxford Learner’s Pocket Dictionary, “literature is writings valued as works of art, esp novels, plays and poems”. Jones (1968:1) states “literature is simply another way we can experience the words around us through our imagination”. By having some definition above, the researcher concludes that literature is a way that can be express creation, feeling, and emotion someone in real life through imagination.
