, Section A: Question 1 1a) Literature can be divided into 3 main genres. Name
the genres, define them and provide an example of each. (10 marks) 1b)
Prose can be sub-divided into 2 main categories. Name the categories and
explain them briefly. (10 marks)
1a) The three main genres in literature are:
1. Fiction:
Definition: Fiction is a literary genre that encompasses imaginative and fabricated stories
created by the author's imagination. It includes characters, settings, and events that are not
real but are created for the purpose of storytelling.
Example: "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. This novel is a work of fiction that tells the
story of Scout Finch and her experiences in a racially charged Southern town during the
1930s.
2. Non-Fiction:
Definition: Non-fiction is a literary genre that deals with real-world subjects and presents
factual information. It is based on research, personal experiences, or the author's analysis of
real events and topics.
Example: "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. This book is a non-
fiction work that explores the history of HeLa cells and their impact on medical research and
ethics.
3. Poetry:
Definition: Poetry is a literary genre characterized by the use of rhythmic and often metered
language to evoke emotions and convey ideas. It frequently employs techniques such as
rhyme, meter, and metaphor to create a unique and artistic form of expression.
Example: "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot. This poem is a classic example of modernist poetry
that uses intricate language and symbolism to explore themes of despair and disillusionment.
1b) Prose can be sub-divided into two main categories:
1. Fictional Prose:
Explanation: Fictional prose refers to written or spoken language that presents imaginary
characters, settings, and narratives. It encompasses novels, short stories, and novellas, where
the primary purpose is to create a fictional world and engage readers through storytelling.
2. Non-Fictional Prose:
Explanation: Non-fictional prose, on the other hand, comprises written or spoken language
that deals with factual information and real-world topics. It includes a wide range of forms
such as essays, biographies, autobiographies, memoirs, journalism, and academic writing. The
primary objective of non-fictional prose is to inform, educate, or persuade readers based on
facts and reality.
