Our understanding of fiction is the literary use of imagination that allows writers to express themselves. Fiction is an extension or exageration of reality; further more it may or may not be connected to anything real or even tangable. It is like an empty room waiting to be filled.
I believe that fiction could be a short story, a book, or a novel about events that have not happened. They are someone’s imaginary ideas that have not happened.
1. Will we have more than the Texual Analysis Essay and the Final Project? Or will we be given more essays to write?
2. I see that each class has a certain author we will be discussing. Is that subject to change?
3. I also see that on May 6th and May 8th it says presentations. What will we be presenting?

As a group, please discuss what you wrote in response to the question What Is Fiction? Did you all define the term the same way? Yes or no? If yes, what was the definition? If no, what were the multiple definitions and how do these definitions differ?
Fiction is what allows writers to express a feeling or thought. Fiction has more freedom when it comes to your thoughts unlike non-fiction which is writing about an event. Fiction allows you to be more creative since you write about what you want.
1. Are most of our homework assignments going to be on open lab?
2. Are we open about what we will be reading in this class?
3. Is it more reading or writing in this class?
Hello,
My name is Misha Billinghurst. This is my 6th semester at tech/upper junior. I’m currently in the hospitality managment program and trying to become an international chef. I love cooking but I hate baking -_-. I’m 20 years old and and a Soror at Delta Sigma Chi Sorority Inc. 🙂
Fiction. To me, thats a whole other world of literature to enter. It’s a way in which authors create very imaginative things to tell a somewhat real story if you understand what I mean. It’s like fiction has that Surreal reality to it. Its like the inbetween of non-fiction and Fantasy. That’s the way I see it.
Fiction is a fabrication of stories out of someone’s imagination. Though they are not fact it is very interesting to read because it forms ideas in your mind that could be possible.
