It covers the different types of prose and poetry, and the sub-genres within them, along with their definitions and characteristics.

Prose, a major category in literature, uses ordinary language and consists of various genres like novels, essays, short stories, and newspaper articles. Poetry is another key category that uses imaginative and often rhythmic language to express ideas, evoke emotions, or narrate stories. Fiction and non-fiction are two broad categories under prose. Fiction includes novels, short stories, novellas, fables, parables, and legends. Non-fiction consists of history, news, biographies, diaries, anecdotes, and essays.
