, Section A:
Question 1
1a) Literature can be broadly divided into three main genres:
1. Poetry: This is a form of literary art that uses rhythm, meter, and often rhyme to
evoke emotions, convey ideas, or create a vivid, imaginative experience. Poets use
a variety of techniques like metaphors, similes, and other figurative language to
make their point.
• Example: "Sonnet 18" by William Shakespeare is a famous example that
employs iambic pentameter and explores the theme of the permanence of
poetry over the fleeting nature of beauty.
2. Prose: This is written or spoken language in its ordinary form, without the structured
meter found in poetry. Prose is often used in novels, short stories, essays, and
articles to tell a story, argue a point, or describe a scene or character.
• Example: "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee is a novel that uses prose to
explore themes of racial injustice in the American South.
3. Drama: This genre involves the performance of written dialogue and stage
direction. It is intended to be performed by actors on a stage rather than read.
Drama often aims to present a tale in a vivid and dynamic manner, exploring human
behavior and emotions through conflict and resolution.
• Example: "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare is a tragic drama that
deals with the themes of love, fate, and conflict between families.
1b) Prose can be sub-divided into two main categories:
1. Fiction: This includes any narrative work where the events and characters are
imagined by the author. It may contain elements of truth or be inspired by real
events, but the main story is a creation of the author's imagination.
• Example: "1984" by George Orwell is a fictional novel that presents a
dystopian future.
2. Non-Fiction: This category includes works that are based on real events, people,
or facts. Non-fiction aims to inform, describe, or explain real-world concepts and
occurrences.
• Example: "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank is a non-fictional
account of her life hiding from the Nazis during World War II.
By dividing prose into these categories, we can better understand the author's purpose
and the techniques they might employ to achieve that purpose.
Question 2
Picture books and storybooks serve different but complementary roles in children's literacy
development, and each comes with its own set of features. Picture books are primarily
visual mediums, often with minimal text, that tell a story or convey an idea chiefly through
