The Appeal Of Fantasy Genre

To begin with, there is a depth to every character. For example after reading the book you will know very much about Hassan, like how he was homeschooled until the ninth grade and his father never went to college but is making over $100,000 salary, you will even know Hassan’s favorite T.V. show, and he isn’t the main character in the story either. By the end of the story it will feel like you have known the characters sense you were little, so these characters will help readers connect to the book. Also, the characters aren’t stereotypical. For example, Colin, a child prodigy since the age of two has been praised by his parents, talked about in articles, and even won $100,000 on a gameshow. You expect him to be confident and independent but actually he is the complete opposite, he needs someone in his life to tell him he has a purpose. These character twists intrigue readers to find out what happens to the characters, so they have to keep on reading. The depth and personalities to the characters in the book are even more of a reason to read this

Everyone loves to sit down and read a good book that really makes you get into it. What about a type of literature that really makes you wonder and is not realistic but fun to read about because it is different. Then maybe you should read the book called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which was written by a talented writer named J.K. Rowling. This is an amazing book that is very popular, but then at the same time very disliked by some also. Witchcraft and other mythical actions happen upon this novel and can capture your mind in the first chapter. It can capture children and adults alike; this is not just a book for children. Some adults think otherwise though because many of them have been

There are numerous genre’s in literature, but their level of importance and influence on an individual will differ. Exposure to books and stories is especially important for children because it is their opportunity to acclimate themselves to written language, and in turn create their own visuals for the toneless words. Maria Tatar writes, “Why Fairy Tales Matter: The Performative and the Transformative” to demonstrate how fairy tale’s written language can spark a child’s imagination as well as empower them. Through personal insight from distinguished writers— Richard Wright— Tatar builds her argument for the benefits of fairy tales— particularly the violent stories. The writer organizes her essay in a concrete fashion by using each paragraph to build on a proposed idea or to present a belief, but does not use contemporary writers personal anecdotes or heed to her own advice of avoiding childish fairy tales.

As you could see the author Esquivel adds a lot of magical realism to make it more intrigued and an open minded setting. She furthermore keeps adding on and still continue to guide us through the story. Another example, are the feelings of Gertrudis in which she

After reading the Harry Potter series, U spent weeks anticipating a letter from a magical school that would reveal that I was in fact a wizard and was invited to attend their classes to learn magic. People tend to enjoy reading fiction so they can live vicariously through the characters in the story. Fiction, despite being “made-up”, often have close similarities to the real world. By taking a closer look at “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury and “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe, one can infer that fiction reveal a significant amount of truths about human nature.

As we, University of Virginia students, took refuge in Bruce Holsinger’s Masterworks of Fantasy Literature class back in August, Holsinger succinctly defined Fantasy Literature as, “making reality more real,”. Fantasy Literature is famous for its talking animals, magical powers, utopian/dystopian societies, and containing exceptionally imaginative plots. After reading and analyzing several foundational fantasy novels, without a doubt, allegory is omnipresent. Furthermore, this literary aspect can either hinder or liberalize reading. Reading is hindered by interpretation with a preconceived, objective notion. In clearly associating a distinct understanding while reading, ultimately the novel’s freedom to draw conclusions is robbed. Furthermore, and unfortunately I must add, Fantasy Literature is often

And a great evil that is lurking. Magic is similar between the two but the type of magic can be nothing but different. The plot is not the same nor can it be. This book can grab someone's attention and trigger someone's thirst for more just like the Harry Potter.

If everyone had the imagination of a child, the world would have seven billion writers. The imagination of a child is limitless and stunning. One never knows what to expect when exploring a child's mind. It races from one thought to another, forgetting old ideas one second and making new ones the next. What fuels the imaginations of children is the world around them. Children take the world around them and remold it in their minds into something completely new and fantastic. Such is true in the fantasy worlds of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan. The authors use these magical worlds to bring the readers into the minds of children and show the readers how children see the world, although they do so

Tolkien, unlike Rowling, has had to use many imaginary words and phrases to fit into his fantasy novel set in a different world.

Of course, one of the reasons we fall in love with these stories is because they allow us to imagine the unimaginable. We can see ourselves wearing beautiful dresses, singing and twirling about in sumptuous castles, or, as dashing princes, saving the beautiful and virtuous girl; or we can envision exploring other worlds and discovering some of the most unfathomable mysteries of the

J.K Rowling had a very vivid imagination to create Hogwarts. You can hopefully now see why I find it fascinating. If you haven't seen or read the series of Harry Potter you should make time. You

The word “genre” is defined as a category of artistic composition, whether that art be painting, music, or literature. Genres are always defined by an origin point, the first and most essential example of its kind. In the case of literature, these are known as classical books. Novels and stories that are responsible for developing or popularizing a certain style, or theme. An easy example of a classical book responsible for creating genres could be The Hobbit. A fantasy novel written by J.R.R. Tolkien to entertain his children and keep track of the bedtime stories he continuously told them. Tolkien’s wonderous stories bore a new era of creation, seeing the continuation of the story in Lord of the Rings, and becoming the basis for modern fantasy

There are also the authors that actually mix the fantasy and the reality to a point that it is really hard to see the difference between them, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is said to be the father of this gender called “Magic Realism”, he said that the reason that he sees the world in that particular way of his, is because of the persons

Another factor which I believe has led to the novels success is that while reading, the reader wishes that they could live in this fantasy world created by Rowling where life is anything but ordinary. The novels make the reader somewhat desire a life like the one led by the characters of the novels, like going to a school to learn wizarding, always having extraordinary things happen and just being at Hogwarts seems like an unequaled joy for some. These novels have the ability to reignite the long lost imaginations of adults, and keep the imaginations of children strong.
