Literary categories, also known as GENRES, are a way of classifying literature based on the style, content, and form. GENRES can be divided into two main categories: fiction and non-fiction. Fiction includes GENRES such as fantasy, science fiction, horror, romance, and mystery. Non-fiction includes GENRES such as biography, autobiography, history, and journalism. Each genre has its own unique characteristics and conventions that make it distinct from other GENRES. By understanding the different literary categories, readers can better appreciate the works they read.
