It's not me whos the problem...  Group: Member Posts: 50 Joined: Mar 2005 Member No: 110,422  |
I was assigned an essay on the topic, "What is the purpose of stories which aren't even true". Our teacher showed us Big Fish and we read "Haroun and the sea of Stories" to incorporate quotes from them. I just needed ideas, I have a couple but they aren't strong enough for me to back up with explanations and quotes. A thoughts will help. Thanks.

Fiction Stories can allow one to be more imaginative.... Non- Fiction stories tell the person exactly how something went... WEll how can a person use his or her imagination when that story already happend??? Fantasy, Sci Fi etc. can have one meaning to one person, and a different meaning to another.... Its kind of like art. The artist may have had a vision, motivation, or emotion to draw his or her masterpiece. But as each person views the art work, they can interprete and think differently from the person.
