Non-fiction is a literary genre that tells a real story. It can be about anything, but it has to be true. Non-fiction can be historical, contemporary, or futuristic. It can be about anything, from science to history to personal experience.
There are a few key things that make a story fiction or non-fiction.
* The purpose of the story. Fiction is meant to entertain, while non-fiction is meant to inform.
* The use of facts. Non-fiction has to be based on facts, while fiction can be completely made up.
* The use of imagination. Fiction uses a lot of imagination, while non-fiction doesn't.
Here are some examples of fiction:
* *The Lord of the Rings* by J.R.R. Tolkien
* *Harry Potter* by J.K. Rowling
* *The Hunger Games* by Suzanne Collins
