What Genre Am I?,[object Object],Writers create texts in a variety of styles.  Which genre do you like to read?  In which genre do you want to write?,[object Object]
Adventure Story,[object Object],The adventure story usually has characters that have adventure, an exciting undertaking involving risk and physical danger, as its main theme. The fast-paced plot of an adventure focuses on the actions of the hero within the setting.,[object Object],Examples: Jurassic Park,[object Object]
Fable,[object Object],A fable is a short story, that features animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature which are given human qualities, and that illustrates a moral lesson (a "moral"), which may be expressed at the end.,[object Object],Examples:,[object Object],“The tortoise and the hare”,[object Object],“The fox and the grapes”,[object Object]
Fairy Tale,[object Object],A fairy tale is a fictional story that may feature  magical characters such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and talking animals.  Fairy tales commonly attract young children since they easily understand the  characters in the story.,[object Object],Examples: Cinderella,[object Object]
Detective Fiction,[object Object],Detective fiction is a branch of crime fiction in which a detective (or detectives), either professional or amateur, investigates a crime, often murder.  Mystery fiction fits into this category,[object Object],Examples: Encyclopedia Brown, Sherlock Holmes,[object Object]
Fantasy,[object Object],Fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting. Fantasy is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and gruesome themes.,[object Object],Examples: The Lord of the Rings, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Harry Potter, Uglies,[object Object]
Gothic Fiction,[object Object],Gothic fiction (sometimes referred to as Gothic horror) is a genre of literature that combines elements of both horror and romance. ,[object Object],Prominent features of Gothic fiction include terror (both psychological and physical), mystery, the supernatural, ghosts, haunted houses, castles, darkness, death, decay, doubles, madness, secrets, and hereditary curses.,[object Object],Examples: The Shining, The Thirteenth Tale,[object Object]
Graphic Novel,[object Object],A graphic novel is a type of comic book, usually with a lengthy and complex storyline similar to those of novels.,[object Object],Examples: Watchmen, Persepolis,[object Object]
Historical Fiction,[object Object],Historical fiction is a sub-genre of fiction that often portrays fictional accounts or dramatization of historical figures or events. Writers of stories in this genre, while penning fiction, attempt to capture the spirit, manners, and social conditions of the persons or time(s).,[object Object],Examples: The Other Boleyn Girl, Al Capone Does my Shirts, The Book Thief,[object Object]
Horror,[object Object],Horror fiction is a genre of fiction in any medium intended to scare, unsettle, or horrify the audience. Historically, the cause of the "horror" experience has often been the intrusion of a disturbing supernatural element into everyday human experience. Since the 1960s, any work of fiction with a morbid, gruesome, surreal, or exceptionally suspenseful or frightening theme has come to be called "horror".,[object Object],Examples: The Shining, Coraline, Cirque du Freak, Midnighters,[object Object]
Romance Story,[object Object],Stories in this genre place their primary focus on the relationship and romantic love between two people, and must have an "emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending.“,[object Object],Examples: Twilight, Truth about Forever, All American Girl,[object Object]
Science Fiction,[object Object],Science fiction is a genre of fiction that differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically-established or scientifically-postulated laws of nature. Exploring the consequences of such differences is the traditional purpose of science fiction, making it a "literature of ideas“.,[object Object],Examples: Ender’s Game, War of the Worlds,[object Object]
Thriller,[object Object],Thrillers  are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains.  Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings and cliffhangers are used extensively. ,[object Object],Examples: The DaVinci Code, The Bourne Identity,[object Object]
True Crime,[object Object],True crime is a non-fiction literary genre in which the author uses an actual crime and real people as a point of departure. The crimes almost always include murder. They can be fairly factual or highly speculative and heavily fictionalized depending on the writer.,[object Object],Examples: In Cold Blood, Helter Skelter,[object Object]
