    Types of Literature

    1. Fiction Literature talks about


    imaginary characters, settings, stories.
    2. Nonfiction literature talks about
    the reality of things, places and
    people, building up on facts.
    3. Creative Nonfiction Literature tries
    to combine these two main types into
    one ingenious literary masterpiece. It
    follows the structure of Nonfiction
    Literature, while employing the use of
    Fiction Literature’s style and
    characteristics. Also regarded as the
    modern essay, it is built upon facts,
    but is crafted creatively. It has
    become popular in the form of
    memoirs and literary journalism
    articles.

    Common Forms of Literature Across


    Types
    1. Drama is created literature to be
    performed and witnessed by an
    audience. This literature is intended
    for theatre and is performed by actors
    donning costumes and props against a
    constructed backdrop for setting. A
    dram is divided into “acts” and
    “scenes” forming a text filled with
    dialogues and stage directions for the
    actors’ movements.
    2. Novel is an extended story, usually
    fictional. Novels could present various
    themes organized in “chapters” and,
    sometimes, “volumes.”
    3. Short Story is a story narrated in
    brevity, in comparison with a novel.
    Short stories, oftentimes, are more
    creatively crafted than novels, but lack
    specific and minute details.
    4. Poetry is a form of literature that
    uses more expressive words, like
    figures of speech, and creative
    structures in conveying its message.
    Most poems are intended to be read
    aloud, however, unlike the drama,
    poems are usually intended to be read
    aloud, however, unlike the drama,
    poems are usually intended to a
    specific person, or is only meant to be
    heard and generalized. Poetry is the
    expression of the writer’s emotions.
    Poetry stands out from the other
    literacy forms as it has, most of the
    time, meter, rhyme and rhythm.
    5. Essay is a literacy from intended to
    be read, if not, addressed to be a
    specific audience. Essays are mostly
    built upon facts and general
    knowledge. It is one literacy form that
    focuses on analyzing and critiquing
    issues. Essays are deemed as the most
    relatable and tangible among the
    other literacy forms.
    6. Epic is on literary form that is slowly
    becoming extinct, if not, rare. In
    structure, an epic combines both
    styles of a drama and a narrative
    story. It also has an element of song in
    it, as most epics were using in the old
    times. More than a factual story, epics
    showcase personal interpretations of
    their writers, therefore adding hints of
    fantasy and mythology in the
    literature.
