15. 1. Language and choice of words  The language of prose is an ordinary one. Prose does not employ any poetic formula except where it is warranted at a minimal extent by prose poetry. The language of prose is an everyday language. It uses a grammatical structure of sentences, chapter and paragraphs, and the sentences and thought continues across the lines, unlike in poetry where sentences are abridged in lines and stanzas.  The language of prose is simply the natural patterns of speech and communication.

16. 1. Language and choice of words This makes prose a lot straightforward and easier to comprehend as opposed to the onerous demand of poetry in discovering the message of the poet (Poetry requires the audience to read beyond the plain word in order to discover the intention of the writer). Prose uses spontaneous and colloquial language. Prose is by norm written in complete and unambiguous sentences.

Prose does not just unfold events, it paints a picture of every bit of the surroundings and circumstances because it has the autonomy and liberty to do so.

21. 6. Use of Characters Prose is not biased by the used of characters. Prose uses both fictional and nonfictional characters to narrate its story and achieve its purpose. Prose can even use fictional characters to represent real life characters. It is through the characters that the writer passes the message of the literary work.

22. 7. Expository Prose incorporates expository style of writing. It is characterized by elucidating views, topics and events for the consumption and critic of the audience.
