I just drifted into the part of my mind that I find almost impossible to escape...
All things have a function which justifies its form..
There is a reason why things are what they are.
It is because..
They are what allows them to be.
A screw driver is a screw driver because it drives screws, no?
I am able to sometimes drive a screw with a knife, is that knife then a screwdriver?
Yes and no.
The intended function of the knife, to cut, necessitates that it is sharp-edged so that it may fulfill it's function.
You needn't a sharp edge to drive a screw.
All tools have a function that is ideal.
What then, is the function of these words on the page?
What is it's form?
What is it capable of?
What's it's ideal function?
To say that there is an ideal function of a piece as writing is to say that there is an ideal form.
Why have words come to be? (it might be safe to say that all things exist because they are useful)
Point at any object of matter and claim there is absolutely no use for it..
And I will call you a damn LIAR..
Why words?
To convey meaning to another.
As simple as that.
Thus far, meaning needs to be conveyed
(need) A way to satisfy that need (means).
Why story?
What need arose for it?
Need to share experience with the unknowing, to tell..
Using words to convey ones actions through frame of time.
To the other reader-
need to convey experience.
Why fiction?
(tricky part)
Suppose there aren't words to convey some experiences.
For mens' experience of reality- limited to desert.
One man happens upon an ocean.
Returning to the other man, how does he describe the ocean with experience limited to his arid world?
Perhaps he shows his cohabitant a bit of water from a cactus and says that the water is as greatly quantified as the sand in which they stand..or the sky above their heads.
Convey experience too profound for truth.
The fictional story conveys something more profound--
Having an entire universe to manipulate, to express, ironically, but truth through lies..??!!..
Every aspect of a universe speaks a common truth and converses to itself the meaning of the artist.
The reader does not only learn the theme, he/she feels it, sees it, walks through the confines of its envelopment.
THAT"S WHY FICTION
Art/fiction is used to convey excited emotions..used through a medium.
To convey emotion is not the main function of art, but it is the most abundant force of experience that necessitates art-the use of art to convey it.
The memory of fear allows the listener to relate and empathize as once experiencing fear.
But to excite that emotion within your subject as you've felt it, that is the function of good art.

To me it's always a good sign when I find people asking meaningful questions and looking for answers.
But I find this text a bit confusing, especially the way you compare the form-function relation between objects and words, and then move on to speak about "function of a piece as writing" which is a whole different thing - because it's now about a form-content relation. Then you go back to words and their function as vehicles for meaning, then you have questions of reality VS fiction AND the idea of what is lost in translation from experience to thinking and transmitting the experience, and then you insert the concept of art as "conveyor" of excited emotions, and you speak about "the (...) function of art", which is yet another question.
I think there's one good (philosophical) way of speaking about these things, which is starting out by defining (at least to yourself) the ideas you're writing about, such as: 'form', 'function', 'meaning', 'experience', 'fiction', 'reality', 'truth', 'excited', 'emotion'. Some of these are enough to keep you reading and thinking for a long time.
Also, be careful with the difference between "its" and "it's".
I hope this isn't discouraging to you, because I do think it's a rewarding exercise.
