Life is like a drama containing many happy, angry, sad, and bitter scenes. Every
character has a role and part to play in the drama of life. Depending on the scene,
some of us laugh, others get sick, and others exit the stage of life. Though some
actors are obviously better than others, most try to do their best. Nearly every actor
blunders sometimes and makes mistakes. In real life, too, no persons are perfect and
sometimes it takes courage to go one.

 Discussion

Let’s recall the major literary genres!

POETRY- is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound and

rhythmic language choices to evoke an emotional response. It has been known to employ
meter and rhyme. The very nature of poetry as an authentic and individual mode of
expression makes it nearly impossible to define.

DRAMA- is a composition in prose or verse presenting in dialogue or pantomime a story

involving conflict more contrast of character, especially on intended to be acted on a stage: a
play. It may be any situation or series of events having vivid, emotional, conflicting or striking
interest.

FICTION- is literature created from the imagination, not presented as fact, though it may be
based on a true story or situation. Types of literature in the fiction include the novel, short
story and novella.

NON-FICTION- is based on facts and the author’s opinion about a subject. The purpose of
non-fiction writing is to inform and sometimes to persuade. Its examples are biographies,
articles from textbooks and magazines and newspapers.

You have rediscovered the conventional literary genres. This part of the module would let you learn
modern literary genres presently used by 21st century writers.
