features that can help us
appreciate prose and
poetry.
Structure:
Let’s start with Prose. - Organized into paragraphs and
sentences.
Please read the first - Follows a logical flow of ideas
feature Joana and information.
- Uses transitions to connect and
guide the reader through the
text.

How about the language

used?
Okay Jerry Language:

- Generally, uses plain language

Thank you, Jerry, next Ivy
and direct vocabulary.
- Focuses on clarity and
conciseness to effectively convey
information.
- May incorporate descriptive
language, but imagery typically
serves the narrative or
informative purpose.

Purpose:

Aims to convey information, tell stories,

narrate events, or instruct.
And some of the
examples are: Often objective in tone, presenting facts
and perspectives in a neutral manner.
Novels, short stories,
news articles, essays,
textbooks, scripts,
commentary, etc.

How about the poetry? Structure:

- Organized into lines and stanzas.

Please read Anthony.
- May or may not follow a strict
meter (rhythm pattern) or
rhyme scheme.
- Not all poems use rhyme (free
verse)
- Utilizes line breaks for emphasis,
pause, and imagery.

Language:

- Employs figurative language like

metaphors, similes,
personification, and symbolism.

imagery, evoking emotions, and
suggesting deeper meanings.
- May use specialized vocabulary
or wordplay for artistic effect.

Purpose:

- Aims to express emotions,

explore themes, create beauty,

But we must remember
that these are general
features, and there can
be overlaps and
exceptions within each
category.
Some prose genres like
experimental fiction or
creative nonfiction might
push boundaries and
incorporate poetic
elements.
Certain types of poetry
like narrative poems or
ballads can tell stories in
a structured way.
Additional Points:

additional points to

or challenge perspectives.
- Often subjective in tone,
reflecting the poet's individual
voice and vision.
Examples:
Sonnets, haikus, odes, free verse, song
lyrics, spoken word poetry.
Sound: Poetry often pays attention to
the sonic qualities of language through
rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration, while
prose generally prioritizes clarity and
comprehension.
Figurative Language: While prose
occasionally uses figures of speech for
emphasis, poetry heavily relies on them
to create layers of meaning and imagery.
Reader Interaction: Prose guides the
reader through a specific path, while
poetry often invites multiple
interpretations and emotional
responses.
Understanding these key features will
equip you to analyze and appreciate
different forms of writing more
effectively. Remember, prose and poetry
are unique tools for human expression,
each enriching our understanding of the
world and ourselves in distinctive ways.
