1. Fictional prose - A literary work of fiction. This is the most popular type
of literary prose, used in novels and short stories, and generally has
characters, plot, setting, and dialogue.
- The plot, setting, and characters are created from imagination.
This is a form of literature that tells a complete story about characters and
events in a brief form and it’s composed of 10,000 words. It has been one
of most popular forms of written literature especially in the mid 20th
century. During this period, there were many writers who wrote short
fiction stories with the purpose of entertaining their audience.
A Novel is a long narrative work of fiction with some realism. It is often in
prose form and is published as a single book. The word ‘novel’ has been
derived from the Italian word ‘novella’ which means “new”. Similar to a
short story, a novel has some features like a representation of characters,
dialogues, setting, plot, climax, conflict, and resolution. However, it does
not require all the elements to be a good novel.
Example:
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Animal Farm by George Orwell
2. Nonfiction is all prose writing that is not "made up" or imaginary. There
are many different genres of nonfiction writing. Here are a few of the more
common genres.
- Based on real people and true events.
Examples of Nonfiction:
Biography
News Articles
History
Essays
Speeches
Writers of nonfiction write for a variety of purposes. They write to give

information, to explain, or to express an opinion or argument. The
purpose of nonfiction goes beyond entertainment, which is often the
purpose for fiction.
3. Heroic Prose - A literary work that may be written down or recited, and
which employs many of the formulaic expressions found in oral tradition.
Examples:
legends
tales.
These are imagined stories that were once told only orally. They were
eventually written down and have since been shared with a wider
audience.

A Poison Tree
By William Blake
I was angry with my friend;

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe;
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful Wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole,
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
(Fr. Reading and Writing Teacher's Manual (2016). Ali, et.al. DepEd.
