This essay will compare and contrast both of these types of literature. Literary fiction is considered to be anything that illuminates some significant aspect of human life, or behaviour with genuine originality and power. It is written by someone with serious artistic intentions who hopes to broaden, deepen, and sharpen the reader’s awareness of life. An example of literary fiction is the short story titled The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber. Ernest Hemingway wrote this story to give insight into the overcoming of fear and the growth into manhood that many men deal with in life.

Kristapher Guillen Mrs. Trammell Ap Language & Composition January 30 2013 The Juxtaposition of the King's men Within the famed novel, All the King's Men, Robert Penn Warren uses juxtaposition in order to convey one of the novel's most prominent themes. Throughout All The King’s Men, there is a constant struggle between innocence and awareness. For a reader to fully understand the novel one must acknowledge this struggle, for it is integral to the transformations of several major characters and the development of the novel itself. In the book, there are many cases where ignorance does prove to be bliss. However, there are also quite a few instances where awareness helps to empower a character.
In order to create a sense of authenticity, Nam Le abides by verisimilitude in his short stories “Love and Honour and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice” and “Tehran Calling” in his collection The Boat. His short story narratives utilise compression, poetics and sentence structure which are artifices to create mood and meaning. In this sense this type of fiction is realistic, but untrue. Readers are aware of this from the outset of the novel with Le’s first short story, which overtly illustrates that the stories in the collection are works of fiction. The autobiographical nature of the first passage in “Love and Honour and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice” introduces the reader to the apparent truth and reality of the story, signalling also what is to be expected in the rest of the collection.

Literature constitutes a wide variety of author’s from different eras with different writing techniques. It reflects the author’s goal and techniques and what philosophy they are portraying to the reader. Considering the works from our reading list for this course, Hamlet by William Shakespeare is truly a popular fiction and has unique literary techniques.

When Hamlet is talking to the ghost of his father, their conversation reflects what doom and gloom will ultimately come at the end of the story.
The Tell-Tale Heart Assignment: We notice that some details in Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” make a literal reading of the story rather difficult. Advance and defend a figurative reading of the story consistent with the story’s details. Poe seems to focus on creating mood throughout his story. Many symbols in this story are interpreted in several different ways depending on the reader. These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper.
