 WHAT IS GENRE?

•It has been regarded as a

literary or artistic
category.
 MAIN LITERARY GENRES

• a. PROSE
This form is mainly ascribed to be
composed freely. This form does not have
any measurement scheme for it is known to
have a free-flow of sentences. Also, it has
greater irregularity and the language used in
this form is ordinary for it has a close
resemblance to man’s pattern of everyday
speech.
 2 FORMS OF PROSE

• It is any literary work that

is an imaginative
recreation and
reconstruction of life. It
covers short stories and
novels in which are said
to be manifestations of
the creative and
imaginative thinking of a
particular writer.
• It attempts to present, to
interpret, or to describe
facts. With such,
judgments, opinions, and
commentaries may be
framed and expressed in
the form of essays, feature
articles, editorial and the
like.
• b. POETRY
It is the form of literature characterized
by its highly controlled manner of choosing
and arranging language with the use of
regulating devices such for sound and rhythm
to aesthetically convey a meaning which
may call for a specific emotional response.
• Most economical means
of expression since it only
uses limited number of
words. Its beauty is mainly
forced by the intricate
and careful use of words,
figurative expression,
imagery, rhythm and
sound.
• This involves stories concerning
significant human encounters which are
intended to be performed on stage. It
may involve a certain number of
characters who also deal with some
complications and issues. It presents
fictional or imaginative events presented
or portrayed by actors and actresses
before an audience.
