2. Mention and define the types of literary works!

Answer : Types of Literature
1. Poetry / Verse
Poetry is a literary work that is bound by stanzas and arrays, the words are short but rich in
meaning, the words are not pulgar but wrapped in a style of language, whether clichéd or
not. But in modern poetry it is not bound by the number of stanzas or the number of lines in
one stanza, even the words are shorter and wrapped.

Pantun is actually an old poem originating from the Malay Sumatra region, the pantun is
bound by lines and rhymes on each line, with the formula abab. The first and second lines
represent sampiran, while the third and fourth lines are content.

Is a fictional story that tells the story of the life of a human child from childhood to death, or

A novel is a literary work in the form of a fictional story that tells the life of someone who is
considered memorable. Novels include modern literary works.

Short story stands for short story, as the name implies short stories usually consist of 2 - 5
sheets of polio paper or F4 size. The short story only tells the most memorable events that
happened to the main story character.

Fairy tales are old stories that are usually unknown to the author, aka anonymous, told only
by word of mouth.

legends tell the origin of a place or stories about ancient kingdoms.
