Something I like about Historical fiction reading is because you get to learn the facts about it.I like writing because you get to make up story's about fictional characters in a historical time period what is difficult about it is creating an idea.

I also like to write about historical fiction. Even though you don't get to write entirely fiction, I still like that you write about what happened in the past.

I like the plot and the clever or smart way the main characters solve the problem because the story is not so simple. Also that they always have a creative idea behind the problem. Something that I like about Historical Fiction is that the plot is real and we get to make our own character, and one of my favorite thing to do is research to make sure that the story is real that that took place in time. Also I like that reading club that we get to do because we are learning more and at the same time we are writing about the same place in time. For me it is segregation and I like the book be it is starting to explain how crazy life can be for those people back then. But at the same time hurtful and painful but that does not stop the characters in the story. Something I like writing about the unit is that we really get to choose our own time in history out of a lot of amazing options. Something that I thought was difficult was making sure that everything in the story is write and that it makes sense. In reading something I thought was difficult was really keeping track of the characters and what so happening in the story. But over all i'm liking this unit so far.

In historical fiction I like to read about Segregation and how and why black people were treated that way. Also I like to write about the Revolutionary War because it could get interesting and the climax could be very suspenseful. Now what is difficult about reading or writing historical fiction is making the story that give me extreme writers block and I have 0 idea what to do. But here is a tip I use if you read a story change the story and setting a little bit and then you could have like 1000000 ideas going through your head. That is easy because I tried it.

What I like about writing historical fiction is that they are not necassarily supposed to be true. I like adding my own twist to something real,the twist part is my favorite because I really like writing fiction. I like writing historical fiction because I like the idea of adding something unreal because it just makes the story way more interesting. One of the difficulties are the parts of the story where you have to add in real parts in here and there because it is really hard to decide which website to really trust, sometimes you can end up with a book that has zero real facts in it. Also researching is not really my flow, i just am used to writing whatever comes to mind, it only has to make sense. - Thank you for reading!!

Kaavya, if you can't chose which websites to use check if the author is a fiction and myth author. Also check if your websites end in something like org or com. Those are the most trustworthy.

I like to read about historical fiction because you can learn new things that happened in the past like the Revolutionary War. I like to write about historical fiction because you get to make up characters and write about anything that happened in the past. Something difficult about writing historical fiction is that you have to include tiny details throughout your story to remind the reader that you are writing about something that happened in the past.

I agree with you. You learn about the past when you read about historical fiction, but when you write it, you have to include facts for your reader. Historical fiction is fiction and non-fiction. You learn things but the story/plot is not real.

Tracey, if it is hard to include small tiny details you should include it in dialouge and/or in thoughts. Also you could include it in actions. For example in my time period girls would wear hats and simple dresses. I would say her dress shimmered as she ran. And for diaolouge " Mama is getting me another dress that has a a smiling face on it.'

What I like about reading Historical Fiction is that I get to know more about a time and history while reading it in story form. I like writing historical fiction because I get to find out new things on what time period i'm reading about. Finally what is difficult is trying to make everything historically accurate and making sure that the reader knows what time period i'm writing about.

Historical Non- fiction reading is very inspring. Instead of reading long and a bit confusing non-fiction stories you could read about fiction but learn. You could also feel like you are in the characters shoes. Historical Non-fiction writing on the other hand, will make you feel like you are the character. Choosing your actions and what you're going to say. But the historical non-fiction writing has a bump for me. How are you going to include the I guess "language" is hard to include? Like how am I supposed to include words with improper grammar. I can't find any sentece to put it in.

I agree because in non fiction you just have to read fact over fact. But in historical fiction you can picture what it was like in this time period and put yourself in your characters shoes.

I really like historical fiction it teaches me a lot of history that is important. I like writing historical fiction because I get to use a time period that I like and I get to write a story about it. The most difficult thing about writing historical fiction is how are you going to tell it and how to explain it but I really like writing and reading historical fiction.

I do enjoy historical fiction, I mean it's okay.......but the only thing I really do like is, that these are made up stories but still tie in to historical events. I enjoy writing historical fiction stories but, I think that the difficultest thing about writing a story like this is that it has to be planned. I dislike the fact that we have to so more than 30 years in the past, it's really hard to plan things like that, things have to be true in historical fiction stories!

I like reading historical fiction because I learn things when the facts are hidden in the story. What I like writing about historical fiction is that I have the power to create main characters in the story that are not real, but still teach about history. What is difficult about writing historical fiction is that you still need to include facts and search things up, like a small detail or something important.

There are many things that I like about historical fiction. One thing that like about it is that it teaches you stuff , but in kind of a fun way. In my book club book, the characters are very funny, and lots of funny things happened. What I like about writing historical fiction is that you can also learn about history , and you can know what the people where going trough in the time. What is hard about writing about historical fiction is that you have to have the exact dates, or that will mess up your whole story. Also you have to think of the exact setting. That was what was difficult what i like, and what i like about writing historical fiction.

I like that when you read historical fiction you're not only reading a story, but you're also learning. There is suspense while there is education. I like to write historical fiction because I get to write about certain time periods. It is fun to write stories about the past because you get to experience what the time was like. The difficult thing for writing about historical fiction for me is getting the correct information to include. When I search on the internet, there are websites that have false information and I can't trust them. When I look for information, I go on websites that look like I can trust them, but when it gives me information I don't know whether it's true or not because I'm writing about the past. This is confusing.

What I like about reading historical fiction is that it is a way to read about a long ago time period and learn some of the athuors imagination. What I like about writing historical fiction is that I can create a story about a long time ago and include my own imagination in the story. Some difficultys I am having are that I can't understand what the story means because sometimes athours put some meaningless pepole in their stories and that makes it hard for the reader to understand the jist of the story

One thing I liked was writing the story because we could write about the past and that's really cool because we can write about past history that really stood out history Also there was thing we didn't know so we know about this. I like writing this because you can add dialoged nd action and metaphors to make the story really good and fun. Instead of just write about your day or the weekend. One thing is hard, is writing because if you don't make historical its hard.

I like reading historical fiction because it has suspense, especially the ones with war.It has suspense because it builds up to the war and you get to see who wins in the war. I like to write about historical fiction because you get to make up your own characters and also its kind of like nonfiction and fiction put together. something that is hard is writing because sometimes you have a hard time finding a good plot and and problem and solution and also trying to find a good way to build up suspense.

There are a lot of things I like about historical fiction but there are also some challenges. One thing that I like about reading historical fiction is that you get to learn, but also read an interesting story. I am reading and writing about civil rights and we did learn much about it. So when I read historical fiction I get to learn so new things about what was happening in this time period. But you are also reading a story so it is like you are learning without even knowing. I also like reading historical fiction is because you get to visualize the time period. In non fiction books there are just facts but in historical fiction it is telling facts in a story way so you can visualize the time period. This is why I like reading historical fiction. One way I like writing historical fiction because you are writing a story. But you are able to add facts about your time period in. So you are basically writing non fiction and fiction in one book. Another reason why I like writing historical fiction is because you get to use your mind and learn new things about your time period to add to your book. This is why I like writing historical fiction.There are a few challenges writing historical fiction. One challenge writing historical fiction is that because my topic is civil rights I do not know much about it so when you are writing it you sometimes have to look things up. Another challenge I have writing historical fiction is going back in time and thinking how it would be like if segregation was still going on and if there was segregation in my story. For example how an African American reacting when they get segregated. These are challenges that I have while I am writing historical fiction. In conclusion, there are many things I like about writing and reading historical fiction and some challenges.

I like reading historical fiction because it teaches me new facts, and it is also fiction. Kind of like a cross between fiction and nonfiction. I like writing historical fiction because the main character doesn't have to be real. What is hard about writing historical fiction is that every event has to be real, and if it didn't happen you can't put it in the book.
