conflict; most can be read in one sitting

 SCIENCE-FICTION – although difficult

futuristic stories, ranging from the
rigorous hard science fiction, to social
science fiction and space opera. Science
fantasy occupies a middle ground
between fantasy and science.
 MYTHS – a story based on

deep symbolic. A myth conveys a
truth to those who tell it and
hear it, rather than necessarily

which has been passed on
from person to person and
has important meaning of
symbolism for the culture in
which it originates

based on facts. It is a writing
about real people, places, and
events which include
biographies, auto-
biographies, and interviews.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
BIOGRAPHY
ESSAY
DIARIES AND JOURNAL
NARRATIVE NON FICTION
