- 13. 13 What’s Is It? Theclutches of technological advancement as a requisite of globalization have extended into every aspect of human existence, and this includes the study of literature. As the whole world welcomed the advent of technological revolution, instruction has also embraced the concept of a global classroom. Hence, skills in using technology has now become an important tool, at home, at work and most especially in schools. 21st Century learners are adept at technology, hence the teaching-learning process has never been the same. In the study of literature, there emerged new literary genres that involve the great use of technology. The 21st Century Learner is one who grew up with technology as a primary learning tool. S/he is capable of navigating and interpreting digital formats and media messages and possesses literacy skills which include technological abilities such as keyboarding, internet navigation, interpretation of tech-speak, ability to communicate and interpret coded language and decipher graphics. Genres of 21st Century Literature The term genre refers to a type of art, literature, or music characterized by a specific form, content, and style. For example, literature has four main genres: poetry, drama, fiction, and non-fiction. All of these genres have particular features and functions that distinguish them from one another. Hence, it is necessary on the part of readers to know which category of genre they are reading in order to understand the message it conveys, as they may have certain expectations prior to the reading concerned. 21st Century Literature is composed of literary works created within the last decade. Written by contemporary authors, these works deal with current themes and issues and reflect a technological culture. These include emerging genres blogs, format books, digi-fiction, doodle fiction and graphic novels. 1) Illustrated novels. The term illustrated novel refers to an extended narrative with multiple images that, together with the text, produce meaning. About 50% of the narrative is presented through pictures. Some illustrated novels may contain no text at all. (source: slideshare.net/calle friesen)

- 15. 15 Reading Manga Manga usuallyfollows the traditional style as found in Japan. Japanese manga is to be read from the right side to the left, including the reading of the comic panels, opposite of traditional American books. (source: goodreads.com/manga) 5) Doodle fiction. A doodle fiction is a literary presentation where the author incorporates doodle drawings and handwritten graphics in place of the traditional font. Drawings enhance the story, often adding humorous elements that would be missing if the illustrations were omitted. (source: slideshare.net/calle friesen) 6) Textula. The textula (a blend of the English word “text” and the Tagalog word “tula), is mobile phone poetry (poem written in the form of a text message) following the structure of the tanaga, a Filipino poem consisting of four lines with seven syllables per line and having the same rhyme at the end of each line, that is an AABB rhyme scheme. The modern tanaga, however, have rhymes that range from dual rhyme forms: AABB, ABAB, ABBA; to freestyle forms such as AAAB, BAAA, or ABCD. Tanagas do not have titles traditionally because the tanaga should speak for itself. However, writers can opt to give them titles. (source: slideshare.net/textula)
- 16. 16 7) Creative nonfiction.It is a rich mix of flavors, ideas and techniques, some of which are newly invented and others as old as writing itself. Creative nonfiction can be an essay, a journal article, a research paper, a memoir, or a poem; and can be personal or otherwise. (source:medium.com/@joneswriter) 8) Hyperpoetry. Hypertext poetry is a new genre of literature that uses the computer screen as medium rather than the printed page. The literary works rely on the qualities unique to a digital environment, such as linked worldwide web pages or effects such as sound and movement. Example: …Compiled by Michael R.

A chick lit consists of women-centered narratives that focus on the trials and tribulations of their individual protagonists. It often addresses issues of modern womanhood – from romantic relationships to female friendships to matters in the workplace – in humorous and lighthearted ways. (source: goodreads.com/chick lit)
- 17. 17 10) Speculative fiction.It is a story that deals with observations of the human condition but offers the experience through a different lens, and challenges the reader to see what tomorrow could be like or what the mythic past of one’s imagination actually is. They are narratives concerned not so much with science or technology as with human actions in response to a new situation created by science or technology. A speculative fiction highlights a human rather than technological problem (Heinlein, 1941). 11) Flash fiction. Flash fiction is a fictional work of extreme brevity that still offers character and plot development. Flash fiction is a medium of brief and enclosed stories. Its average word count ranges anywhere from five to 1,500 words, but the consensus is that the maximum tops out at 2,000. Also called short shorts, “Ted Chiang sets his stories in an alternate past or on another world, like “Tower of Babylon,” which could breach the limits of what doesn’t count as speculative and still fit the term. Chiang writes with such an authoritative voice and builds his worlds so masterfully that one ought to believe in each story’s possibility. Yet the best is example is found in “The Story Of Your Life.” It’s the short story that the film Arrival is based off of, and honestly, if there was ever a narrative of first contact that felt so grounded in our world, so real that it could happen tomorrow, it’s this one.” (Manusos, L. 2020) “Red Clocks envisions a future that could, frighteningly, become our own. It follows five women and takes place in America where abortion is illegal everywhere, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and a new amendment has been added to the constitution that grants rights to every embryo. It’s been hailed as The Handmaid’s Tale of our generation, and asks the question: What is a woman for?” (Manusos, L. 2020) “This book is the first in a series and takes place after a climate apocalypse. Most of the population have drowned from rising waters and the gods and monsters of legend walk among us. This is a mixture of a dystopian environment that is clearly possible and urban fantasy elements. It follows Maggie Hoskie, a Dinétah monster hunter. Hoskie is a supernaturally gifted killer, and she’s sent to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. There, she uncovers a monster more dangerous and terrifying than anything imaginable.” (Manusos, L. 2020)
- 18. 18 nanotales, micro-stories, postcardfiction, or napkin fiction, flash fiction is not just a pared-down short story. Its focus is not necessarily on plot or characters, though it should still have both. Instead, the emphasis is placed on movement: each sentence must peel back a new layer that was not visible at first. 3 Characteristics of Flash Fiction Flash fiction stories share a number of common characteristics. Brevity. Flash fiction compresses an entire story into the space of a few paragraphs. There is no defined word count for flash fiction, but some commonly used word limits in flash fiction range from just six words on the short end to around 1,000 words on the longer end. A complete plot. A flash fiction story is indeed a story, with a beginning, middle, and end. This sets it apart from a prose poem or vignette, which can explore an emotion, memory, or thought without a plot. Surprise. Great flash fiction often incorporates surprise, usually in the form of a twist ending or an unexpected last line. This is not a gimmick: the aim is to prompt the reader to think deeply about the true meaning of the story. Origin of Flash Fiction Flash fiction dates back to the time of fables and parables. The form was popularized in the nineteenth century by writers like Walt Whitman, Kate Chopin, and Ambrose Bierce. Perhaps the best-known flash fiction story is from this time (although frequently misattributed to Ernest Hemingway). The entire story is six words long: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” The amount of emotion packed into these words inspired many writers to try their hand at the genre. In the 1980s, Robert Shepard and James Thomas published a set of anthologies of flash fiction called Sudden Fiction, which spurred another resurgence of the form. Another highly influential anthology was Flash Fiction, published in 1992 by W. W. Norton. It features 72 flash fiction stories and was edited by Tom Hazuka, Denise Thomas, and James Thomas.

- 19. 19 12) Blog. Shortfor “web log”, a blog is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries. It is an online journal displaying information on the reverse chronological order, with the latest posts appearing first. It is a platform where a writer or even a group of writers share their views on an individual subject. (source: firstsiteguide.com/blog) What’s More Activity 4. You Complete Me!

Activity 5. Read Me! Direction: Read the essay below and answer the questions that follow. Beowulf – Heroes Then and Now (retrieved from benjaminbarber.org) Heroes today have changed from those of Beowulf’s day. Back in the time of Beowulf heroes were mainly the protectors of the country such as warriors and kings. The roles have changed today were heroes consist of celebrities and sport players. The roles have changed because our society has changed as well. In the time of Beowulf the kings were of the utmost importance. Without a king the country was sure to fall into ruins. The king’s duty was to protect the country. He did this by keeping up with the wars of the surrounding country and finding warriors to protect the country. The king was highly respected and he had a very important job. Without the king there was no hope for the country. Today really is not all that different, instead of a king we have a president. Our president must still keep up with the foreign affairs including wars in order to protect our country. He must also be able to foresee any effect that foreign affairs might have on the country in the long run. It is the president’s responsibility to ensure that our military divisions, including the air force, navy, and army, are prepared and able to defend our nation or our nation’s allies.
- 21. 21 In the epicBeowulf, heroes were also warriors. These warriors were supposed to protect the country against “monsters” and invasions. The warriors were strong men who could physically make an attack or prevent an attack in order to protect their country. Beowulf was a warrior who was a hero to the country where the Danes lived. Beowulf was able to protect and serve the Danes by killing Grendel. Grendel was an evil monster who had been killing the people that had been sleeping in the hall that he haunted. Beowulf became a hero by not only killing Grendle but also by tearing off his shoulder arm and claw with his bear hands. This is an amazing feat that an ordinary man could not accomplish. To kill a monster with one’s bear hands is simply unheard of! Today our heroes do not normally consist of a warrior as much as a sports player. They too, like the warrior, do things that the ordinary man could not do. Accomplishing unordinary feats is how they earn the respect of the nation. Their job is also equally important as the warrior because they allow people to escape their problems and lives for a while when they watch the sport. Mark McGuire is a hero in the sport of the baseball team, the Cardinals. Mr. McGuire has hit more homeruns than any other man in the major leagues has ever hit in one baseball season. He became a hero by accomplishing such a respectable feat and still being kind to all including his family that he cares a lot for. Not only did he keep people’s interest in the game to see how many homeruns he would get, but he also brought the love back to a national past time. In the year before the country lost respect for baseball when a baseball strike had ruined the season. In bringing back the love for a sacred sport Mr. McGuire earned the country’s love and respect. Another great warrior was a man named Wiglaf who tried to save Beowulf’s life. Beowulf ran into trouble when he was fighting an evil dragon. He had gotten older and had not ever fought a fire breathing dragon before. All of Beowulf’s warriors deserted him except for one, Wiglaf. Wiglaf was unable to save Beowulf’s life but he kills the dragon and fulfills Beowulf’s last request. He builds a monument for Beowulf and Wiglaf became king. Today the story is slightly different but equally enjoyable. Sammy Sosa is a baseball player for the Cubs, a rival to the Cardinals (Mark McGuire’s team). Mr. Sosa is a hero because he too beat the previous record for home runs in one baseball season. Although he was battling with Mr. McGuire to make the new home run record the two players kept it friendly and professional and only wanting the better man to win. Mr. Sosa also helped to bring enjoyment into the game of baseball. Mr. Sosa also helped to remind us on how important it is to be kind even if the battle is between two heroes who both desire to win the fight. Throughout time the roles that heroes play in our lives have changed but they are still important to our countries. Beowulf and Wiglaf protected their country and people. Just as importantly Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa brought enjoyment and a break from hectic lives to our country. Even though the roles have changed for the heroes throughout time their importance to the countries has not gotten smaller. Heroes today are as important as they were in the time of the hero Beowulf.
