Chapter 9 fiction
Fiction is a genre that all of us love. Or at least i though we did. Our mini presentations in class were interesting. Most of us said that we enjoyed fiction and gave reasons adn meanings that represented fiction to us. However some of us described fiction simply as not real. The beginning of chapter 9 describes fiction as being more than not real or untrue. It described it as something that illuminates the truth and makes us think about and reconsider what is real. We think of fantasy often when we think of fiction or at least I do. The fairy tales and folk tales stick out in my mind the most because they really allow one to utilize their imagination.
