1. Which of the literary genres is easy to identify? Which is difficult? Why?
 Easy = Love and horror, comedy, tragedy
Difficult = Non-fictions, periodicals, reference, narrative
 The genres are easy and difficult to identify. This is due to the style of the
author’s writing and imagination. Literary genres that are easy to identify
are those very obvious or genre-revealing stories. We can immediately
identify based on the flow of the story. On the contrary, genres that are
difficult to identify it is due to the complex direction of the story.

2. Why do you need to identify these literary genres?

 It is important to identify literary genre to determine which genre a literary
piece fall into. And because of that, we can obtain an idea or expectation
towards the piece before reading it.
