Answer to Question 1

Scholars in modern times have also studied narrative forms, with most of the
focus devoted to literature, film, and drama. Narratology, as this new interdisciplinary
field was called in the 1980s, is a study of how stories work, how we make sense of the
raw materials of a narrative, how we fit them together to form a coherent whole. It is also the study of different narrative structures, storytelling strategies, aesthetic conventions,
types of stories (genres), and their symbolic implications.

Answer to Question 2

As Aristotle noted in The Poetics, genres are qualitatively neutral: The
conventions of classical tragedy are basically the same whether they're used by a genius
or a forgotten hack. Certain genres enjoy more cultural prestige because they have
attracted the most gifted artists. Genres that haven't are widely regarded as innately
inartistic, but in many cases, their dclass status is due to neglect rather than intrinsic
hopelessness

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
