Teacher’s dialogue:
With the development and emergence of technology, not only did the way of living change but also the way how literature is created is presented. If in the past,
especially in the pre-colonial period, literature is spread through oral tradition which may also mean that a literary work could possibly take time before reaching to
another group of people. However, the 21st century literature could be easily accessed by all people of color and age through the use of technology. Also, technology
has changed the way we perceive, interpret, and even write literature, by creating the ability for everyone to write, through social networks, reviews, and blogging,
and it has been for the better. Technology has, and will continue to influence literature in a multitude of different ways (bartleby.com).

Input for Students:

As can still be seen in modern literature and film, a genre comes with certain in-built codes, values, and expectations. It creates its own world, helping the author to
communicate with the audience, as she deploys or disrupts generic expectations and so creates a variety of effects. Genres appeal to writers because they give a
structure and something to build on, while they offer audiences the pleasure of the familiar and ingenious diversion from it. The best writers take what they need from
the traditional form and then innovate, leaving their own imprint on the genre and changing it for future writers and audiences. In other words, genre is a source of
dynamism and creativity, not a straitjacket, unless the writer is rubbish, i.e. unimaginative and unoriginal (OUPblog, 2014).

Experimentation in writings or setting a new trend has always been in vogue in literature since time immemorial, because people are incessantly in search of better
and innovative ways to express themselves. Classic genres like Poetry, drama, Fiction, nonfiction have evolved in to hundreds of sub genres to address the dynamic
reality of the modern times. The new social, cultural, political, and philosophical verities shaped by Twentieth Century modernism, postmodernism; mainstreaming of
feminism, colonialism, psycho analysis; catastrophes of the two world wars, emerging environmental and global issues gave birth to the huge innovations in literature
due to which 21st century witnessed the emergence of new genres and different styles of writings (Manzoor & Mushtaq, 2022)

1. Creative Nonfiction, often known as literary nonfiction or narrative nonfiction, is a type of writing that uses literary techniques and styles to tell true stories. Creative
nonfiction contrasts with other nonfiction, such as technical writing or journalism, which is also rooted in accurate fact, but is not primarily written in service to its craft. As a
genre, creative nonfiction is still relatively young, and is only beginning to be scrutinized with the same critical analysis given to fiction and poetry.

Things to consider in writing Creative Nonfiction:

● include accurate and well-researched information
● hold the interest of the reader
● potentially blur the realms of fact and fiction in a pleasing, literary style (while remaining grounded in fact)

2. Textula is a cell phone novel, or mobile phone novel is a literary work originally written on a cellular phone via text messaging. This type of literature originated in
Japan, where it has become a popular literary genre. However, its popularity has also spread to other countries internationally, especially to China, United States,
Germany, and South Africa. Chapters usually consist of about 70- 100 words each due to character limitations on cell phones.
The term "textula" is a blend of the English word "text" and the Filipino word "tula! ' Meaning text poem, it is a poem written in the form of a text message. Usually
consisting of one or two stanzas, it is sent as a direct communication to a person close to the sender.

3. Illustrated Novels are stories through text and illustrated images. 50% of the narrative is presented without words. The reader must interpret the images to
comprehend the story completely. Textual portions are presented in traditional form but some illustrated novels may contain no text at all.

4. Chick-Lit is marketed as a “for women, by women, about women” genre. It is writing about the feelings of women, and the “every woman type-heroine, complete
with dieting woes and dating insecurities”. It is a type of fiction, typically focusing on the social lives and relationships of young professional women, and often aimed
at readers with similar experiences (Natalie Rende, 2008 , Bridget Jones, Prince Charming, and Happily Ever Afters: Chick Lit as an Extension of the Fairy Tale in a
Post feminist Society).

5. Manga is used in the English-speaking world as a generic term for all comic books and graphic novels originally published in Japan.

6. Doodle Fiction is a literary presentation where the author incorporates doodle drawings and handwritten graphics in place of traditional font.

7. Flash Fiction is a hybrid or mixed genre that consists of one part poetry and one part narrative. It is also called prose-poetry and needs to be read slowly like a
poem because missing a word can change the meaning of the story entirely.

8. Speculative fiction is a broad category of fiction encompassing genres with elements that do not exist in reality, recorded history, nature, or the present universe.
Such fiction covers various themes in the context of supernatural, futuristic, and other imaginative realms.

9. A blog post is any article, news piece, or guide that's published in the blog section of a website. A blog post typically covers a specific topic or query, is educational
in nature, ranges from 600 to 2,000+ words, and contains other media types such as images, videos, infographics, and interactive charts. Blog posts allow you and
your business to publish insights, thoughts, and stories on your website about any topic. They can help you boost brand awareness, credibility, conversions, and
revenue. Most importantly, they can help you drive traffic to your website.

10. Hyperpoetry, also called cyberpoetry as well as other names, has many definitions and, like hyperfiction, is difficult to categorize. Much poetry on the web is
basically just traditional work uploaded. True hyperpoetry refers to works of verse (although not necessarily in lines and stanzas) which could not be presented
without the computer. Hyperpoetry includes verse with links to sub-poems or footnotes, poetry “generators,” poetry with movement or images. Hyperpoetry is usually
highly steeped in the visual and sometimes involves parts that are read in varying orders.

11. Spoken Poetry is an oral art that focuses on the aesthetics of word play and intonation and voice inflection.

Synthesis

Anything produced and published in the 2000s is considered 21st century literature. 21st Century Literature refers to new literary work created within the last
decade. It is written by contemporary authors which may deal with current themes/issues and reflects a technological culture. It often breaks traditional writing rules.
Existing forms of expressive culture are reacted to and discussed in contemporary literature. As we become increasingly engrossed in technology, we create and
discover new types of expressive culture. We now have access to a vast array of materials thanks to the internet, which has allowed individuals, particularly the
youth, to begin writing and expressing their views, ideas, and feelings.
