Fiction is the writing of a story or text that is not true: It can be written in the form of either poetry or prose Poetry is a style of writing in which short lines form verses Often, words at the end of these lines rhyme, like “bed” and “red” We call a group of verses about one subject a “poem” Prose writing does not have verses, nor
Trang 35does it rhyme It uses sentences and paragraphs Prose is used in
magazine articles, newspaper stories, short stories, and books
Prose fiction has existed since ancient times, but most early fiction was actually written as poetry Scholars disagree about the date of the first prose fiction book, or novel Some scholars classify

In Europe, prose fiction began to seriously challenge poetry in the 16th century A Spanish author, Cervantes, wrote Europe’s first prose novel in the early 1600s However, longer novels, like Cervantes’s Don Quixote, did not become very popular until the
1700s By that time, there were more printing presses, and more people knew how to read In addition, more people had money to buy these books Today, the vast majority of fiction is written in
