What is non prose?
- is anything that does not tell a story of some kind.
Therefore, it could include (but is not limited to) an essay (or any piece of writing that is informative) or a piece of poetry that is only describing one person, object, event or abstract concept.
Non-prose materials are composed of graphs, tables, charts, diagrams and everything that does use minimal words to explain a particular thing.
