CNF Q3_L1 A Close Look at the Literary Genres

Editor's Notes

  1. These definitions point out two important aspects of literature: excellence and expression.
  2. Due to the depth and wide scope of literature, various academics have classified it based on its different aspects such as content, technique, tone, or simply definition.
  3. Fiction, for instance, may let you into a world which is totally different from ours.
  4. Nonfiction essays can give you insights about life or it may lead you to think critically or persuasively about things and ideas around you.
  5. Poetry may enrich your emotional and imaginative powers while drama can help improve your communicative competencies.
  6. When you have mastered what distinguishes one from the other, it is easier to grasp what the writer is trying to tell you hence putting you in a better position to think critically about the material you have read.
  7. Poetry may enrich your emotional and imaginative powers. The creation of pictures with words is very important in poetry, hence poets carefully choose words which will appeal to the imagination of the readers and create vivid visual images.
  8. Drama can help improve your communicative competencies. The person who writes drama for stage directions is known as a “dramatist” or “playwright.” The term “drama” is also used for the type of play written for theater, television, radio, and film. Drama is considered a unique and distinctive genre of literature.
  9. Fiction may let you into a world which is totally different from ours. Through the fictional narrative, a writer may inform, entertain, inspire, or even persuade (Littlehale, 2020).
  10. an autobiography is history, requiring research, dates, and facts double-checked.
