Genres of Literature

Genres of Literature 

(Tuesday, August 27th, 2019)

For Today's class, the teacher told us to read about Literature and the genres of it before his arrival. At the beginning of the class, we had to make the groups for the final presentation. Then we started to analyze the handout. At first, I thought Literature could only be expressed in books ( novels). However, I realized it can be expressed in different ways. For instance: Narrative, Drama( Plays), Poetry and Nonfiction prose. you might think these genres are quite different, but they are not; they have some common characteristics such as dramatic and imaginative and we can include the fact to inform (provide information of something). After the teacher's explanation, it was very easy to distinguish the ways we can express Literature. After this topic, the teacher explained a little bit about Stylistic devices (Alliteration, hyperbole, anaphora, etc...). Fortunately, I already knew some of these stylistics devices ( I studied them the last semester). It was a nice class.
