What are the elements of prose?

Answer 1

Prose is just regular writing.

Prose is not poetry.

Prose is anything but poetry.

PROSE=POETRY

Answer 2

Prose is a form of written or spoken language that is structured and grammatical. The elements of prose include characters (who are the individuals in the story), setting (the time and place in which the story takes place), plot (the sequence of events that make up the story), conflict (the struggle between opposing forces that drives the plot), theme (the central idea or message of the story), and point of view (the perspective from which the story is told). These elements work together to create a coherent and engaging narrative.

Answer 3

You just did. Prose is simply the counterpart to poetry; pretty much any literary work that isn't a poem is prose. These three sentences are prose as well.

However, poorly

As this haiku is written

It is poetry

And therefore not prose.

Answer 4

Well.. there are different approaches to analysing prose. But this is how I approach prose:

1. The first thing I consider is whether the extract is in first person, third person, dual narrative, etc.

2. Then the structure might be considered. That is, the use of punctuation, length of sentences, etc. Structure normally has something to do with the theme or the character's emotion.

3. Then consider any other techniques you can thing of and most importantly, their EFFECT. This is the most important thing in analysis of either prose or poetry. Don't forget to talk about the EFFECT of TECHNIQUES. There is no point in pointing out literary techniques and features if they are no discussed for their effect - in other words, analysed.

Here is a list of possible techniques and features:

- plosive and fricative consonants

- rhyme (although not as common in prose)

- juxtaposition

- alliteration

- sentence length

- monosyllabic vs polysyllabic words

- repetition

- punctuation

- pathetic fallacy

- naming of characters/places

- consonance and assonance

- themes and motifs

- time period under consideration

- etc.

4. Don't forget to have a clear introduction and conclusion. Also, I suggest making a plan of the essay/commentary before starting to write.

The last point I'm going to make is a repetition of something I have already said - but that's how important it is to analysis. Talk about TECHNIQUES and their EFFECTS!

Hope that helped ;)
