1. Besides the characters, the theme is the most important element in literature. However, the characters and the theme directly correllate to one another becasue without well developed characters, you cannot further the theme. The theme in a story is what the writer is trying to convey to the reader. I would think that it is commonplace for great works of literature to have thorough elements within the theme.
2. I think good literature lasts because it can appeal to so many people. Nowadays, people can change so quickly and personalities are complex. When a writer can reach out to so many different groups, his/her work will last forever because there is always a new group with appeal to the work.
3. One thing that I would like to leave behind me is the impression that I lived my life without any regrets and did what I wanted to do. Striving to do things that make you happy will ultimatley make someone's life much more enjoyable. I think sometimes people hold onto an idea and pursue a dream that they know isn't for them because they think people will feel different about them---that's not what I want to do. Writing can have a big role in this because it is a creative outlet for what I think needs to be done.

I really like what you had to say about writing a long-lasting piece of literature. The idea that people have such complex, ever-changing ideas and some writers still manage to connect to so many, year after year, is truly a testament to their skill.
I agree with what you are saying about good literature lasting forever. I think that the writing needs to appeal to a wide variety and to be interesting to all sorts of people. Good job on your blogging!
I agree with why you think literature last so long. Props.
i like how good theme will make good characters and thus better vehicles to carry your theme. It is a cycle of productive and famous writing.
