Alyssa listened as the others gave their answers to what they thought fictional and non-fictional meant, taking down notes as each person have their answer. When no one else spoke, Alyssa raised her hand and gave her opinion of what she thought it meant.

"Professor a non-fictional book is basically a book that has true factual content for example an autobiography of someone's life or events that took place in the past."Alydsa paused to think.

"It could also be a book on research studies or even about a specific subject. "

"A fictional book is basically a book containing a story that is made up and is not real." Alyssa frowned when she said that, paused to think before raising her hand to ask the Professor.

"Professor could it be possible that even though some stories are considered fiction they are in fact true and should be considered non-fiction?"Alyssa asked the Professor.

"I mean some stories or legends have been passed on down so many generations that they got distorted and eventually fell under the category of fairy tale stories, like King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table and even Merlin."

"There has been proof to show that King Arthur and the Knights actually did exist. For example it is believed that it was Merlin who brought the stones of Stonehenge to Britain. Another example is the legend of Robin Hood who is supposed to be a fictional character?" "The existence of the Magna Carta proves that he did somehow exist."

"So could it be possible that maybe what some may consider fictional stories actually should in fact should be considered non-fictional?" Alyssa asked the Professor.
