Fiction is a type of writing
Where the story is not true
It's made up
And the opposite is non fiction
Non fiction is a true story
And our next word novel
A novel is a fiction um
And it's usually a longer story
We also heard the word biography
A biography is a type of book about a person's life
We if that person wrote the story of their own life is called an autobiography
If
If mentioned poem
Now poems are a shorter piece of writing even shorter than a short story or a novel
And the sounds of the words and the ideas are very important in poetry
