History and Fiction

History and Fiction cross paths very often in literature as well as in storytelling. There can usually be some commonalities between the two of them. History recalls events of the past using primary sources and other sources to create accurate but bias representations and stories to depict past events. History is studied after the event has taken place so it is told through records and verbally. These events can be bias as they are usually told through a bias one-sided view.  Most forms of history are from a single teller or event. It can be tough to pull out the accurate facts of history. The inaccurate or unknown parts of history is where history and fiction cross paths. Fiction fits into history when the true outcome is being told ignorantly or with assumption. Fiction is an untrue statement or story that can be based upon some truth but is not entirely true. Fiction can be used as a form of entertainment like campfire stories or plays. Fiction can depict events that have the capability to happen. Fiction does not have to be far-fetched or unrealistic. Overall, there is a correlation between history and fiction when it comes to literature and storytelling.
