Define and differentiate the following:

1. Prose, poetry, and drama


-These are examples of literary work, usually written, that uses creative writing to
capture the hearts of the reader, as well as let the author convey his or her
message in a way that the reader can relate to it or feel it in a certain level of
reality. Although all of these are literary works, there are differences in them,
poetry is written in a rhythmic way, with patterns and is usually written in stanzas,
while prose, unlike poetry, does not have any structure, and drama is written in a
story form which is usually meant to be performed on stage or recorded.
2. Fiction and non-fiction
-These are categories of literary genres, they sort out the types of literary works
into two groups depending on their purpose and content. The difference between
the two is that fiction is based on the imagination of the author, or even a twist of
reality, but never really existing in the real world, while non-fiction are literary
works that convey facts and reality, they are mostly used in the academe and for
research purposes.
