Romance and Drama Fiction
There is an enormous quantity of categories in which fiction books fall into. Romance
and Drama are just two of the many categories there is. So the question is what makes a good
romance book? Or a good romance story? First of all, romance books should always relate to the
human experience. They should integrate words and actions that people say to their boyfriends,
girlfriends, husbands, and lovers. But those are just basic essentials of making a good romance
story. Not only should romance stories have those basic essentials, they should make the reader
feel like they are the characters within the love story. For example, in The Great Gatsby by F.
Scott Fitzgerald. Jay Gatsby is a mysterious man obsessed with beautiful and delicate women
named Daisy Buchanan. In this love story you can feel the passionate love Jay Gatsby feels for
Daisy because of his actions. First of all, he became popular, rich and respected by many and he
only did this for Daisy to love him, even though she was already married. Second of all, Jay
became really good friends with Daisy’s cousin Nick Carraway, he did this out of interest to
become closer to Daisy which eventually he did. This example makes me feel like I am Daisy in
this story since my former boyfriend became a good friend of my cousin’s to get closer to me.
This is one of the many good romance books there is out there, since good romance books have
an emotion, feeling or an action that makes the reader feel like they are the characters
themselves.
The same question is asked for drama books. What is a good drama book? What makes a
good drama story? First of all, to categorize a good drama book or story the reader has to define
what is drama to them. A good drama book has to attract the reader in such a way that the reader
can relate or become involved in the story. For example, in the story A Good Man Is Hard to
Find, by Flannery O’Connor; We can see a well composed drama story that makes it’s readers
feel involved from the beginning to the end of the story. First of all, when the characters are first
introduced we can already feel the tension that exists inside the Wesley’s house, when the
grandma keeps pursuing her son Bailey to go to Tennessee instead of going to Florida. Second of
all, drama is presented to us again when the grandma says “Here this fellow that calls himself

There is a fine line between love and lust. If love is only a will to possess, it is not love. To love someone is to hold them dear to one's heart. In The Great Gatsby, the characters, Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan are said to be in love, but in reality, this seems to be a misconception. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald portrays the themes of love, lust and obsession, through the character of Jay Gatsby, who confuses lust and obsession with love.

Finally, it is fun to study drama. It is fun to dramatise and dress up and fall over dead behind improvised curtains and fence with blackboard pointers and cook up a witches brew and come to school with a spade over your shoulder for the Graveyard Scene. It is fun, and while all the fun is being enjoyed an incredible amount of language is pouring into these students' heads, through listening, reading, watching videos and learning lines off by heart.
