Fictional narrative is a writing based on imaginative events or stories, in contrast to nonfiction writing, which is about real facts (a true story with real people and events). An example of the first one would be Goldilocks and the three Bears, a fictional story we can contrast with a news article for example.
The characteristics of narrative fiction are:
-it has “no reference” in our world. (imaginative people, places, etc)
-the narrator differs from the real author asi he/she is part of the fictional world.
-it can be broken into: events-characters, objects, setting.
Although there´re many discussions and studies about the analogy fact vs fiction, they share similarities and they even blend in new narrative forms.
