Answer 1

In general, fiction refers to plot, settings, and characters created from the imagination, while nonfiction refers to factual stories focused on actual events and people. However, the difference between these two genres is sometimes blurred, as the two often intersect. Fiction books incorporate made-up elements like time travel, mythical creatures, and fairytales. Fiction is made up, you need to use your imagination when you are writing it. Types of fiction include plays, stories and poems. There are many different types of non-fiction writing, such as newspapers, adverts, brochures, reference books and biographies.
