What is a literature mind map?

A literature mind map is a graphic representation that visually synthesizes and organizes the different concepts, ideas, and relationships that stem from the central theme: literature.

Its branches display the key points that you consider relevant to the central theme, with the aim of expanding and visually presenting all the characteristics, elements, and aspects related to literature.

For this article, I will provide you with a description of the literature mind map that I have created. This way, you will be able to download it and use it as a guide, while also giving you a clear idea of how you can create your own mind map.

How to make a literature mind map:

1. Define the central theme: The central theme of the mind map should be literature.

2. Identify the main branches: The main branches of the mind map can be the different literary genres (narrative, lyric, and dramatic), literary movements (classicism, romanticism, realism, modernism, etc.) or literary figures (metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, etc.).

3. Add sub-branches and details: You can add specific sub-branches and details to each main branch. For example, in the narrative genre branch, you can add sub-branches such as short story, novel, legend, fable, etc.

4. Use colors and images: To make a mind map more attractive and easy to remember, it is necessary to use different colors in each branch and as many images as possible, one for each word that can give it a greater meaning.

Description of the mind map

My mind map offers you a solid foundation, but it is not a copy to follow. The important thing is that you awaken your creativity and adapt it to your needs and interests.

Choose the features you want to highlight, whether they are different from mine or by delving into them with sub-branches, details, and images from the internet. Don't be afraid to explore and give it your personal touch.

Remember that two mind maps on the same topic can be completely different and both be correct, as long as the information is truthful.

The essential thing is that the mind map helps you to better understand and organize your knowledge about literature.

Dare to personalize it and make it unique!

The first branch basically describes its concept and functions of literature, such as: aesthetic, poetic, playful, didactic, and critical.

The second branch gives us a vision of the evolution in the history of literature, full of images for a better association of concepts.

The third branch of the mind map shows us the types of literature according to its theme, form, and content.

The fourth branch represents the genres of literature as:

 Narrative: short story, novel, legend, fable, epic, etc.

 Lyric: poetry, song, ode, elegy, epigram, etc.

 Dramatic: tragedy, comedy, drama, farce, interlude, etc.
