Notas do Editor
CHRISTINE:
Good morning everyone, last meeting we discussed about the 4 major conventional literary genre namely the:
(Let them give) --- Poetry, Drama, Fiction, and Non-Fiction
However, we before that, e tackle the differences between the 21st century literature and 21st century readers where its main difference is 21st century lit. refers to the literature of today while readers refers to us present generation where we all inclined to technologies and digitally-techy in browsing, navigating, exploring, and reading.
We also did tackle the different literary genre which are:
Illustrated novel – mostly illustrated pictures
Digi-Fiction – is the utilization of three medias: Books, Movie/Video, and Internet Website
Graphic Novel – is long narrative in comic form
Manga – Japanese Comics
Doodle Fiction – are fictious genre where it utilizes handwritten graphics and drawings where its main core is to add humor to the genre so that readers will be captivating of its cover resulting to read the content.
Now, let’s move forward to other types of literary genres that was halted.
Melanie:
We have Text-talk Novels.
This genre is one of the modern ways of writing stories and novels.
This type of genre utilizes the technology that we have today.
With this, this literary genre can be done through blogs, email, and IM (Index Mesh) Files. Stories can be told entirely in dialogue though SNS or social networking sites such as facebook, twitter, messenger, viber, texts, emails. Example: (read). From the given example, you can see that there is a exchange of information manifested.
Thus, by through texting, chatting, and sending files to your classmates, friends, boyfriends, and even family members is a greatest example of utilization of text-talk novels. Now you know that we often use text-talk novels most especially in telling a story, chicka, and chismiss towards to your receiver. Once he/replied, you engage already text-talk novels
Lovely:
Next in line, is Chick Literature also known as Chick Lit.
This literary genre is under fictious genre wherein everything and anything circulated to the female lead. Hence, the story revolves around the female characters.
This type of genre is characterized as feminist literary genre wherein female characters are put into emphasize while exemplifying the trials in the real world even in the Romantic Relationships and friendships
Example of which are The night Before Christmas – by Scarlet Bailey
It Started with a Kiss – by Miranda Dickinson
All you need to consider when going to get the important point of this chick literature is that from the word chick does not refer to baby chicken but rather, something to do with “chicks” in looking a girl to be your girlfriend or when a boy finds a girl in his life (girlfriend)
Sample: When female appeared in front of the group of male, hala bai.. Chicks o…
Joke… but Bear in mind that Chick Literature pertains to Feminist literary pieces.
Ricky:
From the word flash and fiction. Remember the character The Flash? What is his supernatural powers? Running to fast. Hence, we can get the idea that Flash means brief/fast while fictions are unreal events but relatable to reality. So, flash fiction is a style of fictional literature with extreme brevity or very short story. Meaning to say, brief and concise manner in story telling must be observed.
Elements of flash fiction is Shortness where it compresses the entirety of the story. Complete Plot wherein it should have exposition and ends with resolution. Tension must be present. Characters, Setting, POV, and theme of realistic.
Hence, Flash Fiction are just short story but shorter than short story but the elements manifested in the short story are similar to flash fiction.
Flash Fiction is for brevity.
Example of this is Everyone Cried of Lydia Davis
Desyrie:
Since you have already the idea of flash fiction, we have other version of flash fiction which is the Six-Word Flash Fiction in which the only different of the Flash Fiction is that six word flash fiction is shorter than flash fiction for it only consists of six-word story.
Examples:
- For Sale: Baby Socks, never worn by: Ernest Hemingway
- Longer for him. Got him, Shit. By: Margaret Atwood
So, Six Word Flash Fiction can be utilize in making precise and brief command where whole idea is present. In persuading people to buy items/products sell. And many more. This is more brief and concise manner.
Christine:
Creative non-fiction is also known as literary non-fiction/narrative non-fiction. It is a genre of writing uses literary styles and techniques to create factually accurate narratives. So from the word there non-fiction, this pieces pertains to factual and accurate information but is delivered through creative way like in poetry, in drama, in many other forms that made it interesting to read because we all know that it is too boring to read information most especially you are not into these genre. But, with the creative non-fiction, it gives another flavor with a purpose to help instill information through informing and persuasing in a creative way. They learn something, they also got interested.
Two in one right!?
So, Creative Non-Fiction rooted with accurate facts that is delivered in creative manner.
Examples of which are:
1000 Gifts - Ann Voscamp
Wind, Sand, and Stars - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Christine:
Elements of Creative Non-fiction are:
Setting – Location
Descriptive Imagery – imagery/mind pictures
Figurative Language – non literal
Plot – Structure of the story
Character – subjects of the story.
LJ:
Structure as well is in narrative plot that starts with inciting moment which it is …. (continue reading) and ended with denoument or the final resolution/ending of the story
LJ:
Science Fiction are genre of speculative fiction that deals with imaginative concepts, over and supernatural themes
Examples of themes are :
futuristic science and technology
space travel
time-travel
parallel universe
extra-terrestrial life
Since it is science fiction, the content anchors to scientific process and its consequences and even other innovations
Examples of which are:
Kingdom of Asia by Sara Maas

LJ:

It could be one’s person POV and different people
Updated
Cherry:

It is usually found online through CD-ROOM AND Diskertte Version
