Guided Practice: WRITTEN WORK 3

1. Literary Genre: Twitterature

Explanation: By definition, twitterature is any literary text that only contains less
than or equal to 280 characters. It is evident that it was written on Twitter on the
given literary text, as the layout looks exactly from Twitter. On the first tweet, it is
only six characters. On the second, it contains 127 characters. And the third
tweet includes 128 characters. Therefore, the text is considered as twitterature.

2. Literary Genre: Poetry

Explanation: A poetry is an imaginative expression through meaning, sound, and
figurative language to evoke emotion. The literary text is poetry because it has a
rhyme scheme of ABA, around-heart-dead, and CDC, now-darkness-though, and
has stanzas with three lines each, where the author talks about her walk around
the pond.

3. Literary Genre: Chick Lit

Explanation: Chick literature features a female protagonist whose femininity is
heavily thermalizing in the plot. In the literary text, the author describes a woman
with flowery words, where he describes the woman as a plain, well-grown child,
healthy, and had a nice face. With that, the character’s femininity is being praised
and described.

the author writes it in his memoir—a historical account written from personal
knowledge.
