Non-Fiction vs. Fiction

     If I had to pick a favorite on fiction and non fiction, I would like both. I like fiction because it is more creative than non fiction. Fiction has characters and dialouge, while non fiction has info. Fiction normally has illustrations and non fiction has normally photos. Fiction would win in this case. On the other hand, non fiction would win on knowledge. In fiction books, they give you the opposite. For example a character would say " Cats are cousins of dogs". They would say that for humor, so fiction would win again. In non fiction, it always has information that you wouldn't know. In reader's theater, I did two books, The Three Little Pigs retold by James Marshall and When Rain Falls by Melissa Stewart. The Three Little Pigs was a fiction book. There was many characters and narrators, but I ended up with a narrator. A narrator just keeps the story flowing. Recently, I did When Rain Falls. It is a non fiction book. Even though it has characters, it is still non fiction. It has animals that we barely think about and what it does. I was one of those characters that are like that. I was a deer, ladybug, turtle, rattle snake, and toad. Reader theater is very fun and even though fiction has funny things like aliens and monsters, non fiction still has education that leads you to interesting facts. The result of non fiction versus fiction is a draw, because reading fiction all time makes you think very unsophisticated. On the other hand, reading too much non fiction leads you like a nerd. Try both, or be a nerd or a unsophisticated person.
