What is Genre?
Genre - a category, in literature or other media, characterized by similarities in form, style, or subject matter.
For example, science fiction andຫໍສະໝຸດ Baidufantasy are two different genres in literature.
e.g. the four tragedies by W. Shakespeare: Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, King Lear
Fable
Narration demonstrating a useful truth, especially in which animals speak as humans; legendary, supernatural tale.
characters may be like real people or imaginary
Non-Fiction
has facts that can be checked and proven
the author is an expert on this information
it IS TRUE!
Fiction
Adventure Drama Fable Fairy Tale Fantasy Folklore Historical Fiction Horror Humor Legend
Mystery Mythology Poetry Realistic Fiction Romance Science Fiction Short Story Tall Tale Thriller
Can you classify the following genres into two categories, namely, fiction and non-fiction?
adventure, biography/autobiography, drama, essay, fable, fairy tale, fantasy, folklore, historical fiction, horror, humor, informational, legend, mystery, mythology, narrative nonfiction, poetry, realistic fiction, romance, science fiction, short story, speech, tall tale, thriller
Why recognizing genres is important?
(1) On the simplest level, grouping works offers us an orderly way to talk about an otherwise bewildering number of literary texts.
(2) More importantly, if we recognize the genre of a text, we may also have a better idea of its intended overall structure and subject / main idea.
(3) Finally, a genre approach can deepen our sense of the value of any single text, by allowing us to view it comparatively, alongside many other texts of its type.
All categories of books or stories can be called either fiction or non-fiction.
Fiction
a made up story
can tell about things that could happen
is read for fun
e.g. Aesop's Fables
Fairy Tale
Story about fairies or other magical creatures, usually for children.
e.g. Fairytales written by Grimm brothers Fairytales written by Hans C. Anderson
Non-Fiction
Biography/Autobiography Essay Narrative Nonfiction Informational (science, sports,
history, economy, etc.) Speech
Fiction
Adventure Stories featuring physical action often around a mission usually involving killing and robbing. Many times set in forbidding locales such as jungles, deserts, or mountains.
Fantasy
Fiction with strange or other worldly settings or characters; using magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting.
e.g. Robinson Crusoe Moby Dick
Drama
Stories composed in verse or prose, usually for theatrical performance, where conflicts and emotion are expressed through dialogue and action.
