Literature is the only place in any society where, within the secrecy of own heads, we can hear voices talking about everything in every possible way. The reason for ensuring that privileged arena is preserved is not that writers want the absolute freedom to say and whatever they please. It is that we, all of us, readers and writers and citizens and generals and godmen used that little, unimportant-looking room. We do not need to call it sacred, but we need to remember it is necessary.(UEL - PR) Answer the questions bellow according to the text: Questão 1 - Literature is a) necessary. b) unimportant. c) impossible. d) a mistery. e) a social arena.

A poem... The things I prize of greatest worth Are just the common things of earth: The rain, the sun, the grass, the trees, The flowers, the birds, the glorious breeze, Clouds that pass, the stars that shine, Mountain valleys - all are mine! (Extracted from "Common Things" by J. Greenleaf Whittier)
