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.

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.
Three questions about our syllabus
1. How many papers will be assigned this semester?
2. For the presentations are they going to be group presentations or individual?
3. After the peer editing session, would we be able to have a one-on-one session with you to discuss our writing pieces and our peer’s comments/suggestions?
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.
3 Questions about Syllabus
