Short Stories #2: Get to Know the Genre

 On the Short Stories #1, you have learned about the theory of short story related to the social function, language feature, and structure.
Now, let's learn about the genre of short stories. Genre  /ˈZHänrə/ a category of artistic composition, as in music or literature, characterized by similarities in form, style, or subject matter. According to merriam webster, genre is a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content. In Bahasa, genre maksudnya adalah ragam, pembagian suatu bentuk seni, dsb. 

I find the genre of various short stories and or novel which are found from http://www.english-for-students.com/:

1. Animal Stories

Animal stories present fictional stories where the characters are animals, legendary creatures, plants, and others. Some people call this kind of story a fable.

2. Witty Tales

Wit is the ability to use words or ideas in an amusing, clever, and imaginative way. Witty tales are also called as funny stories - an account of an amusing incident (usually with a punch line); "she told a funny story"; "she made a funny" (thedictionary.com)

3. Moral Stories


  • Humorous Stories
  • Zen Tales
  • Raman Stories
  • Mulla Stories
  • Aesop’s fables
  • Jataka Tales
  • Birbal Stories
  • Modern Stories
  • Classics
  • Stories from around the World
  • Mythological Stories

    Now, 1) Find the definition of 3 genres above (use your own language) then write on your note book. Then, 2) Read one of the short stories, then write the plot in simple which is written on your book also.

    Example of point #2,

    Plot of the story: 
    1. First,...........
    2. Then,..........
    3. After that,.........
