    Second Quarter: Third and Fourth Week

    Name: ______________________________ Grade Level: ____________


    Section: ____________________________ Date: __________________

    I. Learning Competency:
    Compare and contrast the various 21st century literary genres and their elements,
    structures, and traditions from across the globe. (EN12Lit-IId-22)
    II. Key Concepts:
    FLASH FICTION AND GRAPHIC FICTION

    Flash fiction and graphic fiction are 21st literary genres. They become very popular
    especially among learners like you. Modern literary genres gain popularity due to the
    advent of technologies such as internet and other virtual media which become the major
    platforms of most of modern literary texts like graphic and flash fictions. Graphic fiction and
    flash fiction are two different genres of modern literature.
    Graphic fiction or a graphic novel is a comic book narrative that is equivalent in
    form and dimension to the prose novel (Campbell 200, 81). The pictures are arranged in
    sequenced in image panels and dialogues are written in speech bubbles. The illustrations
    allow the readers to imagine and experience the characters and events in the story.

    Here are some of the features of graphic fiction or graphic novel according to Singh
    (2012).
    1. Autographic forms are the marks of author’s handwriting which create an impact
    that the whole novel is a manuscript and thus provides a sense of intimacy.
    2. Graphic novels encourage interactivity in the minds of the reader as he fills in the
    blanks between image panels.
    3. Filling in the blanks between image panels makes the reader imagine the actions
    portrayed in the story.
    4. The language, syntax and meaning of a graphic novel spring primarily from the
    relationship between images than words.
    5. Graphic fiction combines book and screen.

    Some of the examples of graphic novels are the following:


    1. “In the Shadow of No Tower: 9/11” by Art Spiegelmen in 2004 that tells the story
    about the terrorist attack on September 11 in America. This also depicts the traumatic and
    tragic experiences of American people during the 9/11 terrorist attack.

    2. “The Barn Owl’s Wondrous Capers” by Sarnath Banerjee in 2009 portrays 18th
    century Calcutta exploiting the myth of the “Wandering Jew”.

    3. “Louis Riel” by Chester Brown in 2003 is a fictionalized violent rebellion in the


    19th Century on the Canadian praire who led by Riel.

    Flash fiction is an imaginative literature of extreme brevity. It could range from a


    word to a thousand (Gacusan 2018). It is known as micro stories, postcard fiction, nano-
    tales and short shorts.
    3
    According to Sustana (2020), most of the flash fictions have these common
    characteristics.
    1. Brevity. Flash fiction presents the story with fewest words as possible.
    2. Complete plot. Flash fiction emphasizes the development of plot. It has a
    beginning, middle and ending of the story.
    3. Surprising ending. The successful hallmark of a flash fiction is its twist at
    the end of the story.

    Here some of the flash fictions.


    ● “Angels and Blueberries” by Tara Campbell is a story of various explanations for
    the color of the sky that involves angels and blueberries.
    First lines: “Why is the sky blue?” you ask. Well, it all depends on who is
    answering.
    ● “Taylor Swift” by Hugh Behm-Steinberg tells a weird story of how anyone can
    order a perfectly clone of Taylor Swift at his doorstep.
    First line: You’re in love; it’s great, you swipe on your phone and order: the
    next day a Taylor Swift clone shows up at your house.
    ● “Unnecessary Things” by Tatyana Tolstaya is a story of finding an old and torn
    teddy bear, “unnecessary things” (items that do not serve any useful purpose), that she
    adored as a child.
    First lines: This Teddy bear once had amber eyes made from special glass — each
    one had a pupil and an iris. The bear itself was gray and stiff, with wiry fur. I adored him.

    The Unlucky Winners


    Written by: Nicky Johnson
    Published: 2019

    Literary structure: Flash fiction is a short written creative piece usually consisting of a few
    hundred words.

    Each morning, Jim walked to the corner mart for a coffee and lottery ticket. He always
    passed Pete and gave the same reply to the jangling of coins, “Half when I win.” Pete
    invariably responded with a tip of his soiled, red hat. When it happened, Jim searched
    everywhere for Pete. After months, his wife finally convinced him to spend the other half,
    and home renovations began. The following spring, working in the garden, Jim unearthed
    a familiar red. While lost in astonishment and horror, the faint smell of her perfume
    permeated among the roses before...darkness.

    Processing Questions
    1. What is Pete always wearing whenever Jim sees him?
    2. After Jim won, Pete went missing. Who convinced Jim to spend Pete’s half of the
    money for house renovations?
    3. What is the “familiar red” Jim unearthed in the garden one spring that made him
    horrified?
    4. What happened to Jim in the end?
