Fiction Method (Part 1)

Fiction is one of examples of literature. But as every written text is not a part of literature, everything which has the label of story, is not included in literature. E.g. A legal bill is not a literary text although it is written. The writer of the story is not a reporter who depends only on recording the events. If doing this could create literature, a criminal report would have been a crime fiction. There are two elements in each fiction: First is event or story subject element and the next one is character or characterization element. The difference between fiction and documented report is in the second element. In a documented report there exist two elements: 1.event or subject 2.involving people. In such a report neither writer nor reader seeks characteristics of the criminal but the characteristic of subject is important in fiction. In other words, the unique features of person or persons who are involved in the fiction are important. The features are like: morality, beliefs, accent, treatment etc. The character's feature should not be typical. For instance, if a character is a criminal so besides having general elements of a criminal, he must have some unique characteristics which only belong to him. Needless to say, a fiction is not an imaginary form of a documented report.
