Genre of prose

Genre of prose refers to the category or type of written work based on its style, purpose, and content. Examples include fiction (stories like novels and short stories), nonfiction (informative or factual writing such as essays and biographies), and poetry (which uses rhythmic language). Each genre has distinctive features and conventions that shape how the reader experiences the work. Understanding genre helps readers anticipate the style and purpose of a piece, making it easier to interpret and appreciate. It also guides writers in choosing the appropriate form for their ideas and messages.
