Answer 2

fiction, is a story that is fake, \(\bf\frac{fake}{\frac{imaginary}{\frac{non-exeistant}{fantasy}}}\)

(This one is from the Google dictionary) Memoir a historical account or biography written from personal knowledge or special sources.

A tall tale is a story that is hard to believe and is \(\tt\frac{dragged\ on}{exaggerated}\)

Nonfiction is a story that is \(\bf\frac{True}{\frac{Actually~happened}{\frac{Real~people}{Real\ things}}}\)
Anything along those lines.

A poem is a \(\bf\frac{Story}{\frac{Song}{\frac{Speech}{}}}\) that contains stanzas basically
