Genres

For our upcoming paper, we have an assignment in which we have to write using a certain genre, instead of a narrative. I researched a few genres as follows:


fable: a short tale to teach a moral lesson, often with animals or inanimate objects as characters
example: http://tomsdomain.com/aesop/aesopmain.htm
In this paper, I don't think a fable would be the best choice as It would be hard to use animals or inanimate objects to talk about education.


parable: a short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach sometruth, religious principle, or moral lesson.
example: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/LittRed.shtml
I think this is one of the better choices for me to chose in writing this paper.


fairytale: an interesting but highly implausible story; often told as an excuse
example:http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/english/story_telling/cinderella/cinderella4.htm


dialogue: a literary work in the form of a conversation
example: http://www.monologuearchive.com/c/carroll_001.html
I also think this is a good genre to use. There are many ways It can be used.


graphic novella:
I am not artistically inclined to write using this genre.
