ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -The narrative fiction genre involves accounts of a sequence of connected events told through step-by-step, or scene-by-scene, narration. Books in the narrative genre can be somewhat folklore-ish in nature, as they are often stories passed down from generation to generation as moral lessons through past events.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fiction is fabricated and based on the author’s imagination. Short stories, novels, myths, legends, and fairy tales are all considered fiction. While settings, plot points, and characters in fiction are sometimes based on real-life events or people, writers use such things as jumping off points for their stories.

Detailed explanation-3: -A factual story is one that is based on actual events as they unfolded in real life. A fictional story is made up, or imagined; the writer of a fictional story can create characters and events as desired. The big distinction between factual and fictional narratives is based on the writer’s purpose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fiction is any story made up by an author. It is a creation of the author’s imagination. It is not based strictly on history or facts. The opposite of fiction is non-fiction, writing that deals with facts and true events.
