Fiction and non-fiction can sometimes mix together, and this can confuse both writers and readers.

Here are some key points to understand the difference:

1. Truth vs. Imagination:

   • Non-fiction is all about facts and real information.
   • Fiction, on the other hand, is all about made-up stories and creativity.
   • This difference can make it tough to tell them apart.

2. Character Development:

   • In fiction, the characters are usually well-developed and come to life.
   • Non-fiction might talk about real people, but it doesn’t always go into detail about their personalities or experiences.

3. Structure:

   • Fiction has plots and storylines that build up to something.
   • Non-fiction often presents its information in order, like a timeline, or groups it by themes.

How to Make It Clear: Writers can help clear up confusion by being straightforward about what they want to say and how they arrange their stories. This way, it will be easier for everyone to know if they are reading fiction or non-fiction.
