WHAT IS FICTION FOR? DUE: 9/10

Math builds bridges. Science heals disease. What does fiction do? What real value do stories offer? Why read a story about a guy who falls in love, when that guy is not real anyway? What are stories for? How much do we need them?

FOR CREDIT, you must write one entry and make at least one thoughtful response to another entry. Use the above questions to begin your discussion. Try to use specific examples in your responses.

WHEN YOU RESPOND, PLEASE DO NOT
CREATE A NEW POST.
JUST CLICK ON THE WORD "COMMENTS"
(NEXT TO THE PENCIL).
AND ADD YOUR COMMENT
TO THE LIST IN WHITE.

Use complete sentences in your discussion. Use correct grammar, or at least try your best.

Note: If your discussion includes the words “think,” “feel,” relate,” or similar transitive verbs, you must be specific: in other words, “It really makes you think” or “You can relate to it” is not specific enough.
