Answers:

Literature is a mirror of life.

It is a mirror of life because it is where we can share our significant experiences. It is an art of life where we
can see for ourselves the reflection of our deeds. Also, it is a piece of work where the authors can show their
feelings and emotion to their readers. Literature makes the readers fall into the thoughts of the author. And,
it has the quality of beauty that can attract our senses and touches our hearts that leads us into loving it and
portraying it.

1. Novel

For me, a novel is sometimes an imaginative story that is divided into chapters. It is sometimes a close to
reality, entertaining and mind blowing. It contains a plot with characters, settings, themes, POVs and genres
like; romance, horror, mysteries, satire, comedy, romance, sci.fi., and fantasy.

Examples:

The Ruins by Scott Smith

Tale of Genji buy Murasaki Shikibu

Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

2. Fables

For me, fables are a narrative story in which the characters are animals and it has a moral.

Examples:

The Monkey Who Wanted to Swim

The Carabao Got Tired

The Lazy Dog

3. Poetry

For me, poetry is form of beauty and discipline, because it is effective to the readers if the author is very
imaginative and follows some rules and styles in writing this type of genre. Poetry can also be sung and
interpreted in many ways.
