Definition of Prose
Prose is a form of written or spoken that follows the natural flow of speech, uses a language's ordinary
grammatical structures, or follows the conventions of formal academic writing. It differs from most traditional poetry,
where the form consists of verse (writing in lines) based on rhythmic metre or rhyme.
The word "prose" first appears in English in the 14th century. It is derived from the Old French prose, which in turn
originates in the Latin expression prosa oratio (literally, straightforward or direct speech).
Many types of prose exist, which include those used in works of nonfiction, prose poem,alliterative prose and prose fiction.
In summary, studying non-fiction prose offers a multifaceted set of benefits, including intellectual
growth, improved critical thinking skills, and enhanced communication abilities, all of which are
valuable in academic, professional, and personal contexts .
