Non Fiction To Kill A Mockingbird

Fabulous Fiction

Have you ever read a book that has taken you into a different world and held you captive there, fascinated, until the book is over? Well once you close that book and look on the spine I am most likely certain you will not see the words “non-fiction”. Some of the world’s best books are fiction, but some people say that fiction books aren’t worthwhile, however I disagree. Fiction books are very useful because they teach important lessons, are very enjoyable to the reader, and can teach on subjects that some non-fiction books can’t.

First of all fiction books are useful because they teach us valuable life lessons. For example in the book To Kill a Mockingbird the book teaches a very important lesson on courage. The book is filled

    Chapter 1 Page #5 “There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. But it was a time of vague optimism for some of the people: Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself.” After researching the Great Depression, I discovered that the quote, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself” is the most famous phrase from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s first inaugural speech. FDR gave his inaugural speech after his election in 1932. From this, we can conclude that the story began in 1933.…

    As I was reading the first chapter, I am predicting the kids will not meet Boo. I think they will not meet Boo because he is locked up. The people in the town have never really seen Boo. Scout says, “People said he existed, but Jem and I had never seen him” (Lee 10). People had seen Boo before but by using the word “existed” it makes Boo seem very distant and hidden.…

    To say that I am a reader would be a stretch. I can not remember the last time I picked up a book for my own personal pleasure. Some would say that should bother me, but I can’t agree with the reasoning behind it. Mostly people bring up how books have broadened their horizons and changed their way of thinking, which is something I can’t relate to. Instead, I would say that I agree with what a good book should do, but I can‘t say I have found a good book, or a page turner if you will.…

    Why do we read fiction? Is it possible that the reason humans read is that “it satisfies our deepest need – the need of feeling our life to be, in itself, significant” (Warren). Also fiction makes us yearn for problems that relate to our lives and help us get through the difficulties we are enduring. In the novel, A Separate Peace by John Knowles, Gene is dealing with the internal struggle of not being as good as Finn but trying to keep it a secret.…

    Wonderland Books Books tell different stories and those stories become apart of our own life story. We as human beings read books more than once in our lifetime, whether we like it or not. Some books we like better than others and some books we remember more than others. If the world became a place where TVs completely replaced books and books were burned, similar to the dystopian setting in Fahrenheit 451, our own life stories and personalities would change. If there was a mass book burning and I was able to save just one book, I would save Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland because of the child-like wonder displayed with the plot, setting and imagery used.…

    What do you believe the best genre is for literacy? Well, I believe that fiction is the one that interest me the most. Three reasons why I think fiction has changed my perspective in literacy is the creativity, my brother, and the Hunger Games series. People might not like fiction because people don’t like stories that are just too crazy such as like Star Wars (which everyone does like even though it’s fiction). Fiction is something that can just be really fun to read/write because of the realness or story being filled with so much adrenaline.…

    Ban on Fiction Books To the School Board, I believe that the banning of fiction books is a defective idea for the reason that countless number of people get creative ideas from these types of books. Fiction books make people want to explore outside their comfort zone, and give motivation to keep fighting for different goals . A larger number of intelligent people think fiction books are helpful, Albert Einstein supports this quote that fiction books can help you become brilliant by saying,“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales, If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” You want the kids at your school to become more intellectual and grow up to turn the world into a better place?…
