All About Fiction


 Scholars have agreed that fiction is
the name given to work,
specifically a story that is mainly
drawn from the writer’s
imagination rather than using facts
or valid historical information.
 There are many ways as to how fiction
can be formed. It includes writings,
performances, media programs and
role plays.
 Initially , in literary writing, this mainly

involves short stories, novellas, novels,


and drama.
 In fiction, events and circumstances
are known to be contrived or
invented by the writer.
 Thus, it constitutes creative invention

and reality is not typically assumed


nor expected.
However, subjects in the real

world may be utilized as bases
for the invention that will be
considered in the work.
Fiction can be distinguished

from other types of writing by
looking at its main purposes---
to entertain and to educate at
the same time.
 We indulge ourselves in the luxury
of reading fictional stories not
because it is necessary to our lives
but because we get a certain kind
of delight from reading them which
you will not experience in reading
technical write-ups.
