CLASSIFICATION OF LITERARY TYPE

                                                                                  PROSE 


A. Novel a long prose narrative that describes fictional characters and events, usually in the form of                                   a sequential story. 
            
 B. Short Story a brief work of literature, usually written in narrative prose.
        
 C. Plays a form of literature written by a playwright, usually consisting of                                                                 scripted dialogue between characters, intended for theatrical performance rather than just reading.

D. Legend -  (Latinlegenda, "things to be read") is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude.

E. Fablea literary genre. A fable is a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, mythical creatures, plants, inanimate objects or forces of nature which are anthropomorphized (given human qualities such as verbal communication), and that illustrates or leads to an interpretation of a moral lesson (a "moral"), which may at the end be added explicitly in a pithy maxim.

F. Anecdote -  a short and amusing or interesting account, which may depict a real incident or person.Sometimes humorous, anecdotes are not jokes, because their primary purpose is not simply to evoke laughter, but to reveal a truth more general than the brief tale itself, or to delineate a character trait in such a light that it strikes in a flash of insight to its very essence.

G.Essay -  (Latinlegenda, "things to be read") is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude.

H. Biography -  or simply bio is a detailed description or account of a person's life. It entails more than basic facts (education, work, relationships, and death) - a biography also portrays a subject's experience of these events.

I. News - the communication of selected[1] information on current events which is presented by printbroadcastInternet, or word of mouth to a third-party or mass audience.

J. Oration - a speech delivered in a formal and dignified manner.

K. Mythology - refer either to a collection of myths (a mythos, e.g.,) or to the study of myths. a sacred narrative explaining how the world and humankind assumed their present form, although, in a very broad sense, the word can refer to any traditional story.

L. Parable -  is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. A parable is a type of analogy.
