One of the Genres I know a little about is Alliteration, and I would like to learn more. I know it's a play on words and letters. However I want to know why it's effective, and I would like to see if I can apply it to my own style of writing. Dystopian literature was not an opiton on the genre list, but it probably should be. I like reading this type of literature the most, and if I ever choose writing as a part time or full time profession I think this is the type of literature that I would write. It hasn't been talked about much throughout my literature courses but I wish it would have been. Fable is the other genre I find interesting, at list the name. It must be something to do with fantasy, which if it is then it can apply to multiply genres of literature so this is something I would like to know more about. || Hi Justin: I moved this to your personal page, so it would be easier to find. If you like dystopian literature, you could definitely write something in the short fiction or satire genres. Can you find examples of dystopian literature in the 750-1500 word range? Novels are beyond the reach of this project, of course. Alliteration actually is a technique, more than a genre. I've seen it in poetry and prose, but it usually contributes to humor or exaggeration. You could find some alliterative poetry if you wanted to go this route. Maybe you could write a dystopian fable? The key here would be to find some examples, but I'm sure there are some out there.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> I very much enjoyed this experience, and this may be my most important piece of work since I started college. I have wanted to write something like this but wasn’t sure if I could pull it off. I wasn’t even sure where to start, I just knew that I had a lot to say and I wanted to say it by writing it in the form of a dystopian novel. Doing research helped some, but I realized the best advice that I received was to just read fiction, which up to this point I have read a handful of dystopian literature. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> This was a short story however, but potentially the makings of a young adult book, I have a lot more to say, but felt that eight pages are enough to demonstrate that I understand how to write a dystopian short fiction. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> I think I overlooked how long something can take to say or explain. In other words the paper can be a lot longer than what you expect if you just write it in your head first. For what I wanted to say I thought it would take about 4-5 pages but instead it took 8 and it could have been longer. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> I think the narration and description were the most demanding of dystopian literature. At least in this case it was, because all my short story is narration, which I didn’t mind because it made it easier to write. Description was important because it’s a story that happens in the future, but it was hard trying to not make this a story where cars are flying, and everyone has a robot; I wanted to keep it similar to today’s society, only with more technology. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> I think the computer language I used with some of the characters help distinguish that it’s young adult fiction, I should have used more but didn’t have time. Also the narration of the main character distinguishes that this is not only dystopian literature but also a young adult short story. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> I think the genre is designed for rules to be broken, for society’s sake. Sometimes doing what is right requires breaking the rules. Also it requires in most cases using a different language, because language and slang change over time. It helps to define that the story is happening during a different time.
