Different types of writing, called genres, greatly influence how readers feel and what they expect from a story. Each genre has its own special rules and emotions. Knowing these can make reading and writing even better.

1. Fiction

   • Story Structure: Many fiction stories have a common setup that includes three parts: a beginning, a problem, and a solution. A study found that 68% of successful books follow this pattern.
   • Character Growth: Fiction focuses a lot on characters and how they change over time. About 72% of readers want characters that are interesting and grow during the story.

2. Poetry

   • Style and Words: Poetry uses rhythm, patterns of rhyme, and creative language. A survey showed that 56% of poetry readers like free verse (poems without a set pattern), while 44% prefer classic styles like sonnets.
   • Emotional Connection: Poems often try to reach readers' feelings. Around 67% of readers look for a personal connection with the images and ideas in the poems.

3. Drama

   • Acting Elements: Drama focuses on dialogue (what characters say) and stage directions (how actors should move). These aspects change how people understand the story. A report found that 85% of writers think acting is very important when writing plays.
   • Audience Experience: Watching a play live creates a different feeling. About 78% of people who go to the theater believe that the audience's reactions can change how they feel about the performance.

These unique traits of different genres really change how stories are told and felt by readers.
