I really enjoyed reading this chapter and learning about fiction. I really liked how the textbook said that fiction provides a window into what makes human beings so Human. One of the things that I enjoyed reading about was the different types of fiction. These are contemporary realistic fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. Of these my favorites are contemporary realistic fiction, which is stories of animals and people that could actually exsist along with events that could actually happen in todays world or the recent past. I also enjoy reading some historical fiction which are stories about people and events that could actually happen, but the stories usually take place in the past.
Something that caught my attention was the two types of conflicts, internal and exteranl. Internal being a struggle within one's self where a person must make some decision or overcome pain; and external being a struggle with a force outside one's self. I think that these things are what help draw readers and keep them interested in fiction reading. I know that this is what kept me interested in many of the books I have read. I also think that this is what keeps children interested in reading. I know when I was younger and I had to read books in school I was more interested in them if the conflicts in the stories where some that I could relate to.
