Reading both literacy fiction and the popular fiction is always interesting to me. However through the reading I always identify some differences between the two texts. First reading the literacy fiction is more of an active exercise. This is because readers are always ask to search for the meaning of various words and make their own interpretation. I find reading the literacy fiction to be the best because the readers is given his/her freedom to interpreted things the way he/she best understand. Literature is a broad dimension and therefore readers can have diverse or rather different opinion based on how they understand the text and the experience they have. Popular fiction on the other hand is more of a passive reading as the readers is limited to the meaning provided. In the popular fiction there is no that freedom of thinking outside what the author has interpreted in the reading. Another significant difference between the literacy fiction and the popular fiction is characterization. The literacy fiction primary focus on the characters. 999
There is much focus on Analysing character traits used in the story, their significance, their uniqueness, their weaknesses and the strength. I find this part to be more interesting because it makes the readers get energized to read the story. I am always motivated to continue reading the story where I come across a character with very outstanding personality. The popular fiction on the other hand focus primary on the plot of the story. It does not focus on the characterization of the story but rather the series of events that takes place in the story. Although mastering the happening of events in the story is also interested, I tend to find reading the popular fiction challenging to me because most time I am reading a story I always rely on characterization to get the entire flow of the story. Literacy fiction is also more entertaining while the popular fiction is not. Literacy fiction enables the readers to argue their points from multiplicity of perspectives. Therefore through arguing this points and challenging the readers it became more interesting and entertaining. The popular fiction does not give the room for various critics and debates and therefore it is less entertaining. 846
