When I read module 1, I learned that Literature is simply defined as an "art of words". It is also a reflection of humanity and helps us to understand each other. Literature helps us to enhance our expression and our form of writing.

Literature has 4 major parts of literary genres. These 4 major parts are Drama, Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry.

Drama is a part of the four literary genres that are performed on stage, in film, or front of many people. It is also considered a unique and distinctive genre of literature. Based on the module that I read last time, there are four distinct types of drama. A Comedy is a type of drama that has an intention to make the audience laughed by sharing their own experience and sometimes is based on real life. A Tragedy is a type of drama that will give you so much pain because of the suffering of the characters and also the death of the characters. This type of drama has a rare happy ending. A Melodrama is a dramatic piece that has exaggerated characters and it is also has intended to appeal to the emotion of the audience. And lastly, a Musical Drama is a story that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance.

Fiction - Based on my understanding, fiction refers to a literary work that comes from the author's imagination. It has 14 different forms. A Literary Fiction pertains to literary works with artistic value and literary merit. A mystery is solved by detectives who solve the case using a few hints. A thriller has a mysterious and suspenseful plot. Horror creates a horrifying scene and has a theme of death, demons, evil spirits, the afterlife, and even dread itself are among the topic. Historical fiction is a literary genre that transports readers to another time and places the story takes place in the past. Romance is about relationships and romantic love between two people. Western has a common character like cowboys, outlaws, and settlers of the American Old West. A bildungsroman highlights the transition of the character from youth into adulthood. Speculative fiction can be explored in infinite possibilities beyond the human imagination. Science Fiction focuses on time travel, space exploration, and societies of the future. Fantasy includes fictional characters and settings, as well as mythology and folklore themes, and can appeal to any age. Dystopian fiction depicts a world that is worse than our own. Magical realism portrays a real-world with added magical elements. Realist literature shows a universe that is quite close to ours, with all of the elements created as faithfully as possible, just as they do in real life. Fiction has many subgenres so I'll give some examples, these are; short story, novel, myth, legend, and fable.

Nonfiction is a true-to-life story, it is based on true events, facts, but written creatively, they are making it as enjoyable to read as fiction. The genre of literary nonfiction, also known as creative nonfiction, is broad enough to include diaries/journals, memoirs, and speeches. A Diaries and journals both contain records of experiences by their writer. A memoir is an author’s narrative of his or her experiences, highlight what the writer has witnessed, and talks about how one remembers one's own life. And lastly, Speeches defines as the communication or expression of thoughts in spoken words.

When I read Poetry, I learned that poetry is sharing of experiences, telling of a story, or the expression of feelings or ideas through the use of language in a specific way. Poetry has two types of broad approaches that we can use, the first one is a Narrative poem, which tells a story with an orientation, complication, crisis, and so on; and the second one is the lyric poem which conveys an experience, or ideas, thoughts or feelings about a subject without necessarily having ��something happens.’ There are so many types of poetic forms. These are the Acrostic, Ballad, Chant, Cinquain, Comic Verse, Diamante, Elegy, Epic, Epigram, Epitaph, Free Verse, Haiku, Light Verse, Limerick, Lyric, Narrative, Nonsense Verse, Nursery Rhyme, Ode, Riddle, Song Lyric, Sonnet, Tanka, and Villanelle.

So, because of this topic, I gained a lot of knowledge, and it helps me more to understand the literary genres. I thought it was a short meaning but, when I go deeper I was amazed because this is so interesting even it can consume more time when you read. But it is worth it.

Poetry Challenge

I’ve been thinking of a poetry challenge that I could do to get better at writing, I was thinking about giving myself 2-3 days for every poem, the order is alphabetical, and there are 55 different types, thoughts?

Warning this is very long

ABC- A poem that has five lines and creates a mood, picture, or feeling. Lines 1 through 4 are made up of words, phrases or clauses while the first word of each line is in alphabetical order. Line 5 is one sentence long and begins with any letter.

Acrostic- Poetry that certain letters, usually the first in each line form a word or message when read in a sequence.

This is all pretty much copy past from this website: http://www2.poemofquotes.com/articles/poetry_forms.php this website also has some more descriptive and extensive ways of explaining on how to write these types of poems. This list include some that are definitely my style, and others that are very far from my comfort zone, but I’ll try anyway, I don’t know when I will start this; probably over the summer, because there will be no school.
