What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Hope that helpsRealistic fiction is a genre consisting of stories that could have actually occurred to people or animals in a believable setting. These stories resemble real life, and fictional characters within these stories react similarly to real people.

I worked that much out by myself, but thank you. I'm afraid my only response to that is:Graverobber wrote:ryanj1 wrote:Could somebody please explain to me what "realistic fiction" is?Hope that helpsRealistic fiction is a genre consisting of stories that could have actually occurred to people or animals in a believable setting.

I say we invent another kind of fiction called ultra-realism. Idea for a story: man sitting on the toilet; exposition, can't poop; inciting incident, poops and stops; turning point, poops again; second turning point, poops again. And finally, in the climax, he drops a super big dump. The denouement merely entails wiping his ass.

In the end the character realizes that the confidence to poop was in him all along and he just had to relax. I think this is a story that speaks to us all.

That's a great idea! Not that exactly (though I'm sure it appeals to many people), but a "world literature" month. I would love that.joanofarc2015 wrote:Can newbies vote? and... i suggest books about thanksgiving or native americans..since its November <3
