LESSON PROPER

expressed through meaning, sound and rhythmic
language choices to evoke an emotional response. It has
been known to employ meter and rhyme. The very nature
of poetry as an authentic and individual mode of
expression makes it nearly impossible to define.

dialogue or pantomime a story involving conflict more
contrast of character, especially on intended to be acted
on a stage: a
A PLAY. IT MAY BE ANY SITUATION OR SERIES OF EVENTS

IMAGINATION, NOT PRESENTED AS FACT, THOUGH IT MAY
BE BASED ON A TRUE STORY OR SITUATION. TYPES OF
LITERATURE IN THE FICTION INCLUDE THE NOVEL, SHORT
