This was one of my favorite chapters so far. I loved the books that were presented throughout the chapter. This chapter discusses the types of fiction which include contemporary realistic fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. We did a good project about what fiction means to us. One thing I found interesting was that everyone had a different idea about what fiction is or what thought they think of when they think of fiction. Page 187 discourse of fiction is a good page to know. Overall I really loved learning about this topic.
