Two simple questions...or are they?

Julie said, "Literature is whatever is written down, expresses their culture" and "Civilization is a group of people who coexist and rely on each other."

Emi said, "Literature consists of books, reading, and poetry" and "Civilization is a society of people and a result of developing communities. ex: the Aztecs"

Abby said, "Literature is a vital part of civilization because it contains the history of human existence."

Morgan said, "Civilization influences the type of literature that's written at the time to accomodate the views and issues of a particular society."
