Key characteristics of fiction:
* Imaginative: It is created from the writer's mind and doesn't necessarily reflect real events.
* Non-factual: While it might draw inspiration from real events, it isn't intended to be a factual account.
* Purposeful: Fiction aims to entertain, provoke thought, explore themes, or create a specific effect on the reader.
Important Note: The line between fiction and non-fiction can sometimes be blurry. Some works may blend elements of both, and the purpose and intention of the author are crucial for determining a work's categorization.
