Have you ever heard the saying, “that’s like trying to compare apples to oranges”? this phrase is used to point out drastic differences between two things. two items could be so different that you almost can’t compare them.

think about the fiction and nonfiction texts that you have read. when trying to distinguish between fiction and nonfiction, does the line between genres become blurred? or, are there clear differences between these genres—like comparing apples to oranges? list and discuss the traits that you see in fiction and nonfiction works. provide examples of each. explain what you like and dislike about both fiction and nonfiction. what are some examples of works you have read that dance the line between both genres? ultimately, would you rather read fiction or nonfiction?

When comparing fiction to nonfiction, the lines between them can be blurred. Most of the time though, they can be apples and oranges. Trait’s I usually see in fiction are, transformations, magic, and others that are merely imaginary. Trait’s you see in nonfiction are actual events that have happened to someone or something. What I love about fiction is the ability for me to get lost in the pages of a good book. I like reading about events that happened in real life, but it usually ends sadly, so it’s not my favorite genre. The way that people feel, or how an entire party feels would be a ‘dance among the lines of genres’. I would rather read fiction, because it is usually a happy story, stories that touch the heart, or just something to make you smile after a bad day.
