Hi, there, my name is Ken Kang. I am majoring in Computer Engineering Technology. I love sports, like basketball, soccer, and ping-pong. I also love to read. I read news, and fiction novels.

Fiction is any story exaggerated from something that could be possible. We should read fiction because it can be entertaining. Even though it is fake, the stories are ones we enjoy  because they give us a glimpse into lives we wish we had, lives we can have, or a fantasy reality that is so far fetched we can only dream of it.

1. Are you going to give us a list of novels to choose from for our reading journal?

2. How come we can not e-mail you our assignments?

3. Do you expect to see first drafts of our essays?

To me, fiction is a genre that may have started with Literature and then expanded to Film and any moving media. The situations that take place here are not doable in “reality”, and I think that is the interesting thing about this genre. Even though many people believe this kind of material is not as important because it doesn’t copy reality, I believe it reflects a society, and the zeigeist of certain time or place. Personally, I use this genre (reading it or writing it) to scape from reality, I think is like a good drug…

My name is Marissa Parker. I’m a Hospitality Management major. This is my third semester at City Tech. I transferred from Monroe College where I got my Associate Degree in Baking and Pastry arts.

1-  The discussions and draftings of the essays are going to be individually or we are going to do it in groups?

2- What is the peer editing about? The final project?

3- Whats the difference between the “Final Projects” and the “Presentations” scheduled for the end of the semester?

I think Fiction is a genre with no limits. Fiction can be as grand and other worldly as your mind can think of or it can be as real as anything that can happen to you and me.

My name is Melissa hart, I’m a CIS major. This is only my third semester at city tech and I have switched my major once.  I am currently reading The Kill Order by James Dashner. if anyone knows any good horror/adventurer/fantasy books I would like to hear about it.

I’m Veronica Silva, my major is Advertising Design. I’m mexican, and I’ve been living in the USA for 2 and a half years now. Back in Mexico I started my major in Literature, but I decided to change to Design and keep Literature as a hobby. I like to read and write in spanish mostly, so I see this course as an opportunity to learn more about Anglo Literature.

Fiction is a genre of literature that involves events and people that are not real. However, I see fiction as an important genre to be read and studied. Often, there are a lot of lessons and morals to be learned from fictional works. Authors tend to use fiction as a medium through which  they can express their views and convey important messages, a task that would be more difficult to do through non-fiction or other genres. In addition, since works of fiction are not factual and are not bound by the constraints or real life events, they tend to take us places and allow us to experience events that we wouldn’t be able to see or feel otherwise.
