Fiction refers to any narrative that is derived from the imagination—in other words, not
based strictly on history or fact. It can also refer, more narrowly, to narratives written only in prose
(the novel and short story) and is often used as a synonym for the novel.

Non-fiction is factual and reports on true events. Histories, biographies, journalism, and
essays are all considered nonfiction.

Nonfiction is stories and writings that are true. Fiction can be based on nonfiction, but the
events in fiction stories did not actually happen. Characters and places in fiction stories can be
made-up, too. In nonfiction, everything is real. The difference between fiction and nonfiction is not
always easy to tell. Some nonfiction stories can be very dramatic, while some fiction can sound
very real. Nonfiction can be used to tell a person’s life story or provide historical information.
Fiction is usually used simply to tell a story and share an experience with the reader.

shook himself, but more of it fell upon him. He sniffed it curiously, then licked some up on his

was his first snow.
