Music As Literature

       A novel is a story with a beginning, middle, and end. That's what a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony. They're different, however, in the style that they are written. A novel tries to tell an entire story, detail by detail. A poem tries usually tries to make you think with word play. A rap is usually a hard hitting beat with lyrics trying to make you boast. A song could be written in many ways depending on the audience. A symphony is instruments making a harmonic sound. Each of these attracts a certain audience. That's how these things are similar and different.
