Read and do the following true of false exercises

According to the writer, readers are passive. They can just read the books and try to understand what the writer describes or discusses in his/her writing.

False. Readers construct the reality of the story and bring the story to life in their minds.

1. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in.

2. Real people (who live in a normal world) do real things; in other words, the stories are about people (just like us) doing what we do.

3. They have characters and creatures (that are very different from us and do things (that would be impossible for us)).

4. But there is more to books and writing than this.

5. even realistic writing is imagined.6. How can we tell the difference

between what is real and what is not real?

7. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of thinking.

8. When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page.

9. We use our knowledge – which is real – and our imagination – which is real in a different way – to make the words come to life in our minds.

10. Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” (of reading and writing) to make us think.

11.It sounds strange, but it works.12. When we read, we fill in missing

information and think about the causes and effects (of what a character does).

13. We help the writer by pretending that what we read is like real life. In a way, …

14. We pick up a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next.
