Genre: THe major category in which a literary work fits. Te basic divisions are poety, prose, and drama. However, subdivisions may also be called genres: prose can be divided into fiction (novels and short stories) and non-fiction (essays, biography, journals, autobiography, etc.)
Example:
"Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn't . She said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try and to not do it any more."
I believe that Adventures of Huckleberry Finn's genre is fiction. I don't really think that there is a cave where people might of hidden money, and then these boys found it. This can also be classified into a novel. Also the fact that the story is told by the point of view of a kid makes it a fiction story.
