Detailed explanation-1: -In the 20th century, authors created “lost” worlds, an aspect that Lowry incorporates in The Giver, in classic children’s fantasies such as Baum’s Wizard of Oz and Barrie’s Peter Pan.
Detailed explanation-2: -Science fiction usually has a scientific premise at its core. For example, Jurassic Park, a novel by Michael Crichton, explores cloning. While science fiction draws on and extrapolates from what we know about reality and science, fantasy invents what does not (and likely could not) exist in our reality.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fantasy is relatively easy to read. People read to escape and for fun, and these “big ideas” can be hard to read. Not to mention that some of the long descriptions of the science can be tedious and boring. Fantasy usually involves mystical creatures, a more medieval setting, and at the very least, magic.
Detailed explanation-4: -Time travel. Teleportation. Mind control, telepathy, and telekinesis. Aliens, extraterrestrial lifeforms, and mutants. Space travel and exploration. Interplanetary warfare. Parallel universes. Fictional worlds. More items •01-Sept-2021
