2. A. Definitions of Prose
Prose comes from Latin word prosa, part of the
phrase prosa oratio, meaning straightforward
speech. Prose id expressions in direct style,
without metre or rhyme and with no regular
rhythm.
Prose is writing distinguished from poetry by its
greater variety of rhythm and its closer
resemblance to the patterns of everyday speech.
Prose is the ordinary form of spoken and written
language whose unit is the sentence, rather than
the line as it is in poetry.
Prose is a form of language which applies
ordinary grammatical structure and natural flow
of speech rather than rhythmic structure.
