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.
