I once needed to write a nonfiction essay for a school assignment, and I choose to write about video games, specifically about their artistic potential and about esports.

According to Daniel Chandler, “creates order to simplify the mass of available information. Creating categories promotes organization instead of chaos” (Wikipedia, Current State of Genre Theory). Chandler describes that very few shows, movies, books etc have all the characteristics of a particular genre. Not all genres are evident to define, some of them relate to other genres. When there is, a specific genre classified, this allows a fan base to grow for people who enjoy a specified genre over others. However, Amy J. Devitt says, “Our world has grown so much that it is difficult to absolutely classify something. Information overlaps, and a single book can encompass elements of several genres. For example, a book might be classified as fiction, mystery, science fiction and African American literature all at once” (Wikipedia, Functions and Limits).

Not all stories are different, but there are only so many combinations that can be used, and so traits will resurface in different books.

The musical film has always held a special place for me. From my time as a drama student in high school, my eyes have been opened to the amazing world of the musical and especially the musical film. The musical film is a film genre in which the characters sing songs that are integrated into the overall story. Since musicals first began in theaters, musical films usually contain similar elements. These elements often simulate that there is a live audience watching. In a sense, the film viewers become the audience members, at a theater production, as the actor performs directly to them. Due to the popularity of musicals in the theater, the style was quickly brought over into film. In 1927, the musical film genre began

No matter which type of job or career the author is looking for, a resume is a great first step. Generally, resumes are built and created in early adulthood by the author them self. There are a few things that can be assumed about the authors. First, they are middle to upper class individuals who like to show off their own personal qualifications, education, and academic and professional experiences they have obtained throughout their life. The audience in which will be looking over these resumes could be a pretty broad range generally speaking, but for the most part whoever the author is submitting the resume to will be the intended audience for this genre. I think it is safe to say this genre will be around for many years to come,

Genres are one of the first things readers look at to help determine whether or not a book should be read. Although there are many similarities between the genres shounen (manga intended for males) and shoujo (manga intended for females) that make a manga seem like it could be either genre, there are differences that are meant to distinguish between their respective audiences. As a more specific example, the shared themes of fighting, love, and superhuman powers as well as the character in Black Cat and Sailor Moon suggest a similar genre and audience; however, upon closer

This concept can be applied to all types of storytelling, sub-genres are no exception. In the case of this sub-genre, there are various

People have always enjoyed graphic novels for as long as they have been around. They have been used to spread around an important message, politic viewpoints, explore new ideas in literature, and expose different styles of art to people around the world.
