Books and Real Events
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should read only those books that are about real events, real people, and established facts. Use specific reasons and details to support your opinion.

Some people think that fiction books have no use at all. They claim that people should read about real events that took place, real people, and established facts. I have to totally disagree with this statement. From my everyday experience and observation I can stand that fiction, miracles and fairy tails are required in our life. For several reasons, which I will mention below, I believe that fiction books play an essential role in our life.

First of all, it is kind of difficult to imagine a six year old child reading about politics or history with the real facts that are not always pleasant. I think that children need miracles and Santa Claus because the real world is too complicated for them. They are too innocent and inexperienced to know the real facts and understand what is a real life about. In addition, I am sure that making a child read only non-fiction books can result in shock. In addition to these benefits,

Second of all, following this statement about refusing from reading books about fiction events we also should refuse from festivals, parades, and celebration such holidays as Halloween because most of the characters there are fictional. Moreover, comic books will disappear as well as animated films and fiction movies. The disadvantage of non-fiction lies in the facts that nothing happens to excite the mind and spirit. From the other side, fiction provides a great slope for a mind to think creatively.

In conclusion, I think that people need miracles. We can not be satisfied with only naked truth. Human kind must believe in something and this believe helps people break limits and make new

    “We identify with those stories, we want to get lost in them, forget the world for a few minutes, or hours, or days.” People tend to read fiction books more because they are able to go into their own world for the time they are reading the books. The world would rather have fiction books, non-fiction isn't something that you could read all the time it would get boring. The readers need to know that without fiction many books they've read won't be readable anymore because there's so many of them. As technology evolves we will have to adapt our fiction-making powers, and discover new ways of making our own lives worth sharing and documenting. Fiction will allow you to make your own life and to write about it without having to put everything that's the truth.

    Novels are important because they reveal things about ourselves that we are to prideful to face. Humanity strives for perfection in a world were we are imperfect in everyway. The result is a world of unsatisfied, selfish, and prideful people. The book presents us with this question and then answers it “Do you understand now why books are hated and feared” Because they reveal the pores on the face of life. The comfortable people want only the faces of the full moon, wax, faces without pores, hairless, expressionless”. We are too prideful to let other people see that we have blemishes, and that we mess up. Instead, we would rather live a life trying to cover up our mistakes than admit that there is wrong in the world. Society has bought into…

    The Outsiders

    "The book that helps you the most is the one that makes you think the most, and expands your knowledge of life and human nature." I am in total agreement with this statement. I believe that that the best books are the ones that expand your mind and teach you about the facts of life. The quote portrays that books are only significant if they have made you think. The book I read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton supports this statement in many aspects. The book depicts a society where two dominant, opposing gangs prevail in a town that just isn't big enough for the both of them. The main character, Ponyboy, his brothers, and friends are part of a gang known as the "greasers", due to their poor appearance and their greasy hair. The antagonist gang is known as the "socs", a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up greasers like Ponyboy.…
