Understanding Genres in Writing and Movies - Prof. Linda M. Ferrara, Study notes of Grammar and Composition

Old Dominion University Grammar and Composition

Prof. Linda M. Ferrara

The concept of genres in writing and movies. Genres are not fixed patterns but ways of writing and speaking that help people interact and reflect things they do. As a writer, genres can be used to make sense of complex situations, invent ideas, and meet reader expectations. Genres are flexible and adjust to various situations and fields. In movies, genres shape situations and readers, and audiences have specific expectations. This document also provides an activity to help identify genres in television shows.
