Literature: Timeless Voices, Timeless Themes (Copper Level)
by Prentice HallEach form of literature, called a genre, has its own characteristics. In this introduction, you can learn about the genres of literature. Prose is organized in sentences and paragraphs and does not have a regular rhythm. Fiction is prose writing that tells about imaginary characters and events. Nonfiction is prose writing that presents and explains ideas or that tells about real people, places, or events. * Poetry, whose sentences appear in lines that do not always extend across the page, often has a regular beat or rhythm. A short story is a brief form of prose fiction with characters, a setting, and a plot. It resembles longer forms of fiction in exploring an insight into life. Nonfiction is literature that deals with the real world. It tells the story of actual events or people and addresses the world of ideas. Poetry is literature written in verse. Because the form uses comparatively few words, poets choose highly concise and emotionally packed language to convey their ideas. In addition, poetry includes rhythm and rhyme to make the writing musical. Drama tells a story through the words and actions of actors who impersonate the characters on stage. In the text of a drama, the characters' words are called the dialogue.
