I feel that there should be two different types of non fiction becuase I understand that many of non fictions books like memoirs are the truth but they aren't completely 100 % true . Books like a text book and a book that a doctor would use to learn more about his profesion would be in a different type on non fiction because the truth can not and shouldn't be altered or stretched because many people could possibly be depending on the information to be completely true. I do feel that half truths are okay if you add them to another type of non fiction genre because a good story is still a good story no matter if its true or half true or totally made up. How the truth is bent is another question because if you bent the story to make it more interesting for the reader and make it a better story I would understand that need to please the reader and broden the audience. I feel like we should have genres for books but make more sub genres because books are more complex then just a mystery or just a thriller they have more componets that make the book what it is. Books are like people you cant judge them by just one thing, they have many different things that make them what they are . If you see a person with alot of tattos that doesn't mean that he is a bad person and is a gang memeber you never know if that person could be a doctor or a buisness man that likes to express himself.

I agree with you about the subgenres, I know we have a lot of subgenres in general but it would be nice to have a wider variety of subgenres. But textbooks are another reason why non-fiction books should be completely true, because we don't want to be given false information just like we don't want to be reading fake stories when we're told that they're real stories.
ReplyDeleteI agree that a textbook reading is much different from a memior. Though I still think that honesty is very important and I rather the story be the truth and what really happen then something made up if it is non-fiction because in my mind thats what happen and it's disappointing when you are lied to and what happen in reality is different from the book.
