Understanding Text Structures in World Literature: Fiction and Nonfiction Features

This guide explores the distinct text structures found in world literature, particularly focusing on the differences between fiction and nonfiction. Nonfiction texts are designed to inform, explain, or persuade, often incorporating features such as footnotes, appendixes, and illustrations to support the information presented. Conversely, fiction aims to entertain and typically includes narrative elements like prologues, epilogues, and tables of contents, which help clarify the sequence of events and provide essential background. Understanding these structures enhances comprehension and engagement with the text.
