Chapter 8-EDRG 3321

Last week in class we discussed fiction literature. We were able to get into small groups and discuss what we each perceived of fiction. Immediately, one of my first thoughts was Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella. I loved fairy tale books as a child. My mom bought me many of the fairy tale books when I was younger. My sister and I used to love reading them every night. As I got older, my taste in books grew. I became so interested with the Goosebumps books and also Hank the Cowdog. In our groups in class, we drew what we thought fiction was to us. It was amazing to see the different point of views. Some people imagined aliens and robots, others imagined castles and dragons, while some thought of werewolves and vampires. It proved to me that fiction does not cover one type, but many. Fiction can range from contemporary and historical, to fantasy and science fiction. Also in class, we discussed the settings, plot, theme, and characters displayed in fiction books. These parts are all essential in a story. I enjoyed discussing this chapter in a group. It allowed me to hear others ideas, and opinions about fiction literature. It was very useful and I know that it will benefit me in the future.
