five subgenres: fantasy, historical fiction, mystery, and science fiction.
2. Nonfiction. It tells the story of real people and events. Examples include biography,
autobiographies, or memoirs.
3. Drama. A drama or play is a story created specifically for a stage performance. The most
renowned author of drama was William Shakespeare – the writer of Macbeth, Hamlet,
Romeo and Juliet.
4. Poetry. In this style of writing, words are arranged in a metrical pattern and often
(though not always) in rhymed verse. Renowned poets include Cumminge, Robert Frost
and Maya Angelou.
5. Folktale. Folktale is also referred to as mythology. It tells stories of originally oral
literature and is meant to pass on particular moral lessons. These tales often have a

24. Literature as Significant Human Experiences
 The human experience in literature contains themes about life
and society that are relatable to readers. Themes related to the
human experience encompass any commentary on society or
human nature, such as death, relationships, human right, or
conformity.
 People think that words do not mean anything to anybody but,
literature is a reflection of the human experience because it allows
people to look back on their memories like Martin Luther King, Jr.,
and it also allows the reader to learn a life lesson through other’s
experiences like the author Sandra Cisneros.

25.  Literature allows people to share human experiences through
imagery in their words. Martin Luther King, Jr. uses imagery in his
“I Have a Dream” speech. He says, “Negro is still sadly crippled by
the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination”. King
uses words like “manacles and chains” to relate to the experience of
the slaves. He wrote this in time of segregation, it was after slavery,
but he is pointing out that the black is still not free of the past they
are trying to get over. He is connecting with his audience to share
one human experience.

26.  Literature allows people to learn through other people’s
experiences and learn life lessons because they can see
through other people’s thoughts and memories.
 Literature allows writers or readers to look back on their
memories because they can relive the memory or experience
through words.

27. Purposes of Literature
One of the chief purposes of literature is a
means of exploring what is to be human. It is
also a way of communicating with others about a
huge range of ideas and concerns. Literature
helps us to understand people, societies, events,
and culture

28. Prose vs Poetry vs Drama
 Prose is the normal language (sentences and
paragraphs) people use when writing or speaking. It is
not poetry and does not have a meter or rhythmical
pattern. Magazines, articles, encyclopedias, and essays
are all written in prose. Stories are also usually written
in prose.

29.  Poetry. Poetry creates word pictures, describes
moments, or expresses feelings: There are many different
forms of poetry. Two examples of poem forms are free
verse and lyrical poems. A free verse poem does not
rhythm. A lyrical poem uses imagery to express a feeling
and uses rhythm, regular meter, and rhyme.

30.  Drama. Drama is a story that is acted out in front of
people, or an audience. A drama can be a play, a puppet
show, a song, or dance story that a person on stage
performs for a group of people. Plays are written in a
special form, which helps you to picture what is
happening on stage. This special form is called a script. A
script contains the list of characters, the lines the
characters say, and the stage directors.

31. Poems are written in lines and stanzas instead of
sentences and paragraphs. Prose is made up of
sentences and paragraphs without any metrical (or
rhyming) structure.

32. Drama is a piece of writing that tells a story; it is
performed on a stage and uses dialogue. Although each
is a distinctive style of writing, the main similarities
are: all three can be for entertainment; all three are
used to express ideas or feelings; all three can be more
effective if read aloud; and all three can follow certain
rules, or be absolutely lawless in their form.

33. Fiction vs Nonfiction
 Fiction refers to literature created from the
imagination. Mysteries, science fiction, romance,
fantasy, checklit, crime thrillers are all fiction genres.
Examples of classic fiction include: To Kill a Mocking
Bird by Harper Lee and A Tale of Two Cities by Charles
Dickens.

34.  ‘Nonfiction’ refers to literature based in fact. It is the
broadest category of literature. The Nonfiction
Department has books and videos in many categories
including biography, business, cooking, health and
fitness, pets, crafts, home decorating, languages, travel,
home improvement, religion, art and music, history,
self-help, true crime, science and humor.

35.  Fiction is fabricated and based on the author’s
imagination. Short stories, novels, myths, legends, and
fairy tales are all considered fiction. While settings plot
points, and characters in fiction are sometimes based on
real-life events or people, writers used such things as
jumping off points for their stories.

36.  Nonfiction is factual and reports on true
events. Usually Nonfiction has a higher standard
to uphold than fiction.
