Genre studies

Okay kiddo, have you ever read a book or watched a movie and noticed how it was different from other books and movies you have seen before? That's because they belong to a certain type or category called genre.

Genre studies is when people study those different types or categories of books, movies, music, and other forms of art to understand the similarities and differences between them.

Think of genres like different flavors of ice cream. Vanilla is a different flavor than chocolate, and strawberry is different from both of them. In the same way, a horror story is different from a romance story, which is different from a sci-fi story.

When we study genres, we try to understand what makes a story a horror story or a romance story, and how they are different from each other. We look at the characters, the setting, the mood, and the themes in each genre.

By studying genres, we can get a better understanding of what we like and don't like when it comes to books, movies, and other forms of art. We can also use this knowledge to create our own stories and understand how to make them fit into a certain genre.

In summary, genre studies is when we study the different types or categories of books, movies, music, and other forms of art to understand what makes them similar and different from each other. It's like studying different flavors of ice cream to understand what makes them unique.
