Post #8 What it take to be Non-Fiction


For a book to be a non-fiction in my mind I have to agree with James Frey  because though its supposed to be completely true even if they extend the truth it shouldn’t completely mean that it has to be a new genre because majority of the book its true but only a small part isn’t completely true it may have happened but it just went down different than the book, and also books in my opinion are suppose to tell you a story that really intrigues you and if that has to happen but adding some lies into the story then I think it is a good thing to add and it shouldn’t have to effect the whole books reputation.

So for people to be angry with Frey I didn’t think was right if they read the book and loved it which everyone seemed to do it shouldn’t matter if he lies a little because it still get his story across in a interesting way.  So I think that David shields according to him I think it should matter that we label the books because there are some genres that people have absolute no interest in so I think they should be so we know what we enjoy and what we don’t really want to read. So I think that extending the truth won’t hurt anyone but labels for genres  is something I think has to be here.
