Bad Great Literature

Literature is not a qualitative word. It does not carry with it any sort of judgement on the quality of a work. Literature is a category, we can later go to the works within that category and judge them as good or bad. It does not make them not literature, it simple makes them good or bad, they are still literature regardless. Maybe people have the impression that a work of literature must be great (and therefore combine the two where literature is defined as a great work of writing) because non-positive/bad literature seldom makes it to see publication and massive distribution. There can be a bad literary work.

Back to chemistry, under the category of element, a different charge in any given atom does not make it not an element. The fact that an element is a cation or an anion, does not change whether or not they are an element. If chloride has one addition electron, it's still chloride.
