Diaries

Diaries are the incidents recorded by the author without any means of publishing them. It is the rough work of one's daily routine, happenings, memorable days or events in their life. E.g. Anne Frank's 'Diary of a Young Girl' was published by her father in 1940s; it's a story of a girl trapped during German invade Amsterdam.

Diaries consists of business letters, newsletters, weather listing. In today's world of Internet, writers write in blogs, forums, polls and social networking sites to convey their thoughts. This also is a form of diary writing.  http://www.buzzle.com/articles/types-of-literature.html

Literary diaries can be separated into 2 categories:
1.    Non-fiction diaries are the published diaries of real individuals.   One famous example is Anne Frank's 'Diary of a Young Girl' which was published by her father in the 1940s; it is the real diary recorded by a 14 year old girl trapped in an attic during the German invasion of  Amsterdam.

2.   Fictional diaries are stories and/or novels told in the style of a dairy. The 'writer' of these diaries is a fictional character whom the author has invented for the purpose of telling a story.  One well known example of this kind of diary is 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' by Jeff Kinney
