It really depends on what you are studying. If 'structure' is used in reference to a particular text e.g. novel, it is how the story is told: sequencing of events (linear/non-linear), 'turning points' in plot.

If 'structure' is used in reference to a play, once again it is how the plot unravels (significant events? linear/non-linear narrative? symmetry of plot?), how skilfully the playwright employs tension and light humour, entrances and exits etc. In other words, what dramatic devices are used? Consider dialogue, setting and the interaction between the play and the audience.

If 'structure' is used in reference to a poem, then you ned to look at the rhyme scheme to classify the different types of poems. For example, a poem of fourteen lines with rhyme scheme ababcdcdefefgg is a Shakespearean Sonnet. Do not forget to link your analysis of 'structure' in your given text to how the work functions as a whole: how significant is the author's way of organising his or her story effective in bringing about the poet's view of a particular theme/atmosphere?

What are the 3 classifications of literature?

The two major classifications of literature are poetry and prose. Poetry - (from the Greek 'poiesis' a making: a forming, creating, or the art of poetry, or a poem) is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning. Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems; or, may occur in conjunction with other arts, as in poetic drama, hymns, lyrics, or prose poetry. Prose - is the most typical form of written language, applying ordinary grammatical structure and natural flow of speech rather than rhythmic structure (as in traditional poetry). While there are critical debates on the construction of prose, its simplicity and loosely defined structure has led to its adoption for the majority of spoken dialogue, factual discourse as well as topical and fictional writing. It is commonly used, for example, in literature, newspapers, magazines, encyclopedias, broadcasting, film, history, philosophy, law and many other forms of communication.
