This document provides information about prose, including its definition, elements, and types. Prose is defined as writing without a strict rhythmic structure, unlike poetry. The elements of prose discussed are theme, setting, plot, characters, and point of view. Two main types of prose are described: fiction, which includes folktales, short stories, and novels; and non-fiction, including diaries, essays, articles, biographies, and reviews. Several authors who wrote notable prose are listed, with details provided about James Thurber. The document concludes with a summary of one of Thurber's short stories called "The Night the Bed Fell."

Prose id expressions in direct style, without metre or rhyme and with no regular rhythm. Prose is writing distinguished from poetry by its greater variety of rhythm and its closer resemblance to the patterns of everyday speech. Prose is the ordinary form of spoken and written language whose unit is the sentence, rather than the line as it is in poetry. Prose is a form of language which applies ordinary grammatical structure and natural flow of speech rather than rhythmic structure.
