E. LESSON PROPER
Princess, what is Fiction? Fiction is created in the mind through your
imagination. Fiction is derived from the Latin
word “fictus” which means “to form”. You
invent stories and choose characters appropriate
for the story. Fiction aims to entertain, educate,
and inspire.

Now, there are some types of fiction. Let’s

have the first one. What is a short story?
Yes, Justine? A short story is a fictional work containing 1,000
to 20,000 words and measures no longer than 25
to 30 pages in length.

Thank you, Justine.

A short story can be read in only one sitting.
An example of it is the legend of the rice and
streams that we discussed the last time.

What about Novella? (Students raised their hands)

Yes, Christine?
The novella is longer than the short story,
 Novellas typically have 20,000 to 50,000 words
and measures from 60 to 120 pages in length.
Because have more room to work with, they
typically have a more complex plot or storyline
and more characters than short stories.

Thank you, Christine.

A novella is shorter than most novels but
longer than most short stories. I am legend by

suckers, and spends his nights inside his (Students raised their hands)
house,

50,000 words or 120 pages. Novels are even
Yes, Faith? more complex than Novellas, and they usually
have more than one plot or storyline and many
well-developed characters.

Thank you, Faith.

A novel can’t be read in one or two sittings
because of its complexity. A novella contains
fewer characters and themes, while novels
contain more characters, themes, and sub-
themes and are also divided into chapters or
sometimes into volumes. An example of this
is The Lord of the Rings. The Lord of the
Rings has three volumes. the fellowship of the
ring, the two towers, and the return of the
king.

Fiction can be broken into different categories

called genres. There are many different genres The genre typically has no basis in scientific fact
