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.

A story doesn't have to be true to be a great one. There are plenty of great fiction stories..take Lord of the Rings..One of the most respected books because of how much creativity and imagination it captured. Fiction lets you go past the everyday things of life, and releases our imaginations. And as for "Big Fish" i would say that i was glad that he told his story in fiction form so the reader could really grasp his sense of adventure and how the true story felt to him, felt like fantasy to us. I dunno, lol it's an interesting homework assignment hehe
