Melissa Hart

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.

Introduction

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.

What is Fiction

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.

Fiction

Fiction is a story or novel or any document that is not historical or essentially true in any way. It can be completely creative and contain subjects that doesn’t actually exist like a flying car with wings. Some can be very realistic and have many connections to the real world but had never actually happened in real life. Walter Dean Myers is an author who writes a lot of realistic fiction. Slam for example is realistic in all its ways but it is certainly fiction because the characters and events that take place in the story never existed.

Francisco Severino’s Introduction

Hi my name is Francisco Severino. My current major is Liberal Arts and Sciences but i’m going to transfer hopefully by next semester to study Political Science in City College. I’m a friendly person and I like helping others. I’m somewhat of a reader. I’m trying to become a better reader because reading was never my hobby but i understand that it can be as fun as it is important. I don’t read much but i can say that Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite author and hopefully ill get to read all if not most of his works. I like video games and italian food btw lol.
