Answer 1

There are 12 common story genres and 3 poem genres!

Explanation:

From adventure to realism, genres are actually important. In the following, I'm going to list the common story genres!

COMMON STORY GENRES:

1. Adventure
   Action! Thrill! Risk! Full of that stuff!

2. Romance
   Love! Affection! Heartbreak! All about it.

3. Historical Fiction
   Can take place in a real historical time, but all the things that happen and/or some or all of the character may not have been real; based on historical events.

4. Mystery
   Mostly about solving a strange problem, crime, or puzzle.

5. Fantasy
   Has some magic, and other supernatural phenomena, too.

6. Science Fiction
   Think about aliens and UFOs. Future science and tech.

7. Myth
   A cultural story explaining natural phenomena (of course, we now use science to explain instead) and/or entertaining us. Can involve supernatural characters. Click here for a myth explaining how the seasons change.

8. Parody
   A spoof; another piece of art is imitated to make fun of

9. Allegory
   A story that has a hidden meaning

10. Graphic Novel
    A story told in art; like a comic book

11. Satire
    A story that exposes stupidity using humor

12. Realism
    A fiction story that could've happened (but it didn't so that's why it's called a fiction story!).

A story can be a mix of genres; it doesn't have to be only one genre. Click here for an example!

COMMON POETRY GENRES:

• Free Verse
  No set rhyme or meter*.

• Lyric
  Kind of like a song, and focusing on emotions

• Epic
  Focused on serious events and a hero. Very long.

*: meter (in poems) means rhythm
