EDRG 3321- Chapter 8

Fiction offers children a chance to understand the world we live in. There are many types of fiction that has given children information such as life during past wars in the world, different lives of people and how they lived rich or poor, nice or mean, etc. Fiction can make us reconsider what actually is realty. Some do believe fiction is fake, like I was taught, but that isn't always true. In most cases, fiction opens doors for students as does any reading. Fantasy is a step further. Fantasy allows us as humans to adventure to other places and other cultures. For instance, I'm not sure about the movie, but I know the previews for Avatar are very appealing because they are based in this fantasy world of other creatures. It's amazing what writers do with fantasy, whether a book, play, or movie.
