Hello fellow soompiers,

This question is asked for an English course. To you, what are the qualities in which it makes the book a fiction?

Thank you for even clicking and helping. =D

..............................; Fiction is a book that's made up.

[winterofdiscontent]

A work of fiction is one that is made up entirely of the author's own ideas, such as characters, setting, etc.
Whereas non-fiction is based on fact.

[understanding_fiction]

^ But technically, fictions are based on facts too.
They just use the facts and integrate it into their story.


Um, maybe fiction is based on fact, while non-fiction is a factual account presented as real?

[x_MiSSANN]

fiction:
-can be based off of a real story
-ideas/characters/details are all made up by author


non-fiction:
-facts, facts, facts
-can be proven by research and such
