Chapter 8 Fiction

What can I say about fiction stories? It is our window to escape out of reality and go into a world where anything can happen. When I hear the word "fiction", I think about magic, monsters, and heroes. There are different type of genres of fiction, but out of all of them, i have to say that fantasy is what draws me in. One of the popular fictional stories that is selling like crazy right now is the Twilight series. All the young people are into this love story between a mortal human and a vampire. My favorite fiction stories are scary stories. Fiction explores possibilities limited only by the imagination. I like how our text book quotes that stretching the imagination through literature has wonderful psychological rewards, extending the boundaries of what we perceive as reality (Living Literature 179). Every child loves to daydream and imagine a different world of human beings and of creatures that talk. Reading fiction stories to our classrooms will keep our students interested in reading because we are showing them that there can exist a whole new world where anything is possible and can happen.
