History vs Fiction 

History is the act of recording past events that happened. History is primarily based on facts and evidence found from the past. It is believed that most history is true and most people accept it. Although, history can be wrong due to bias or miss information. History is never-ending and as each day passes it is considered history.   History is used to learn about our past but It can also be used to determine the future.  People say history repeats itself and if we do not learn from the past, troubles that could occur in the future. 

Fiction is a made-up story usually used for entertaining.  It is limitless and is as far as your imagination can take you. Fiction can be used to create scenarios that might happen in the future. It can be a story that is reflecting current events today. Fiction is creative and can be interpreted in different ways. 

History is based off facts while fiction is based off of imagination. Fiction and history can both be entertaining to people.  History and fiction are alike because both can be lies. They can be changed and have bias on them. Lastly their both alike because they are both important. You need to learn about the past and what can potentially happen.
