    guidelines
    Poetry:
     a type of literature that conveys a thought, describes a scene or
    tells a story in a concentrated, lyrical arrangement of words
     Poems can be structured, with rhyming lines and meter, the rhythm
    and emphasis of a line based on syllabic beats
     Poems can also be freeform, which follows no formal structure.
    Example of Poetry:
    Calm is all nature as a resting wheel
    William Wordsworth
    Calm is all nature as a resting wheel.
    The kine are couched upon the dewy grass;
    The horse alone, seen dimly as I pass,
    Is cropping audibly his later meal:
    Dark is the ground; a slumber seems to steal
    O'er vale, and mountain, and the starless sky.
    Now, in this blank of things, a harmony,
    Home-felt, and home-created, comes to heal
    That grief for which the senses still supply
    Fresh food; for only then, when memory
    Is hushed, am I at rest. My Friends! restrain
    Those busy cares that would allay my pain;
    Oh! leave me to myself, nor let me feel
    The officious touch that makes me droop again.
    Fiction:
     In literature, fiction encompasses written works that are defined by
    narratives or stories that are created, invented, and made up by the writer.
     Essentially, fictional works feature elements such as plot, characters,
    setting, and theme. These elements can be literal, conventional, and follow
    formulas, such as in works of genre fiction.
     They can also be artistic, symbolic, and unstructured, such as in works of
    literary fiction. Fictional works primarily take the form of novels, and
    short stories.
    Example of fiction : Excerpt from To Kill
    a Mocking Bird, Harper Lee
     Jem was twelve. He was difficult to live with, inconsistent, moody. His
    appetite was appalling, and he told me so many times to stop pestering him
    I consulted Atticus: “Reckon he’s got a tapeworm?” Atticus said no, Jem
    was growing. I must be patient with him and disturb him as little as
    possible.
     This change in Jem had come about in a matter of weeks. Mrs. Dubose was
    not cold in her grave—Jem had seemed grateful enough for my company
    when he went to read to her. Overnight, it seemed, Jem had acquired an
    alien set of values and was trying to impose them on me: several times he
    went so far as to tell me what to do. After one altercation when Jem
    hollered, “It’s time you started bein‘ a girl and acting right!” I burst into
    tears and fled to Calpurnia.
    Drama:
     In literature, a drama is the portrayal of fictional or non-
    fictional events through the performance of written dialog
    (either prose or poetry).
     Dramas can be performed on stage, on film, or the radio.
     Dramas are typically called plays, and their creators
    are known as “playwrights” or “dramatists.”
    Example of drama:excerpt from Much
    Ado About Nothing, William
    Shakespeare
     Enter Leonato, Governor of Messina, Hero his daughter,
    and Beatrice his niece, with a Messenger.

    LEONATO, ⌜with a letter⌝ I learn in this letter that Don


    Pedro of Aragon comes this night to Messina.
    MESSENGER He is very near by this. He was not three
    leagues off when I left him.
    LEONATO How many gentlemen have you lost in this
    action?
    MESSENGER But few of any sort, and none of name.
    LEONATO A victory is twice itself when the achiever
    brings home full numbers. I find here that Don
    Pedro hath bestowed much honor on a young
    Florentine called Claudio.
    MESSENGER Much deserved on his part, and equally
    remembered by Don Pedro. He hath borne himself
    beyond the promise of his age, doing in the figure
    of a lamb the feats of a lion. He hath indeed better
    bettered expectation than you must expect of me to
    tell you how.
    LEONATO He hath an uncle here in Messina will be
    very much glad of it.
