PROSE POETRY
GOOD DEED
I learned about the joy of helping others
when I was in kindergarten. One of my classmates
had forgotten his snack, so he had nothing to eat
during recess.
Nobody wanted to share with him because
we were all very hungry and it was really his own
fault that he would have to go without. That day my
mother had packed my favorite treat. A chocolate
and peanut butter cup. I wanted it all for myself, but
my mother had often told me that I should share, so
I broke my chocolate and peanut butter cup in half
and gave my forgetful classmate one half.
He nearly fell over in surprise. Then he smiled
the biggest smile I had ever seen, and I suddenly felt
the greatest happiness I had ever felt. After that, I
always looked for chances to help people, because it
always made them and me feel good
DEATH, BE NOT PROUD
by John Donne
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must
flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate
men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

14. Types
of Prose

15. An essay is a type of
writing that develops
an argument or
narrative that is based
on evidence, analysis
and interpretation.

16. A commentary is usually
composed of more or less
than a hundred words which
has journalistic tone than a
personal essay. These are
commonly found in some
columns in newspapers or in
blogs. In writing a
commentary, it should be
more on the news like rather
than literary.

17. A news article
commonly appears on
newspapers which
contains information
about current events
and discoveries in the
field of science and
medicine.

18. A short story is a non-
fictional prose which
features characters
that are based on real-
life and plot may be
inspired by a real-life
event.

19. A mixed genre is a literary
work that does not qualify
to any of the other types
of short proses that are
previously mentioned.
This is a piece of writing
that blends elements of
fiction and nonfiction in a
very deliberate way.
