I want to know the differences between a drama and a pro for an English literature essay. I have a lot of information on drama but not pro. Please can you help

Selected answer:Well...
Explanation:
First off, you should be able to do your own homework.

But I'll give you a pointer. A drama is a piece of literature meant to be performed in a theatre. A pro, OTOH, may be a professional football player, or a golf player, or a member of this site... *g*

You sure you don't mean prose? Now, go and do some research :)

agree  Abu Amaal (X): J.E. prose. That will get you started. But I don't think you've been paying attention in class.

Drama and prose?


Explanation:
A drama is usually the same as a play for live theatre, or a screenplayfor a movie (although dramatic situations can arise in any work of literature, and so they should, or things get boring really fast...).
Prose is a rather general term... to give you a rule of thumb, any literary creation that is not poetry is usually prose (novel, short story, etc.)
