 Realistic fiction is divided into two genres, which include historical and contemporary.  Realistic fiction began in Europe and in the United States during the 1840’s throughout the 1890’s.

 " Robinson Crusoe " by Daniel Defoe (Adventure book)  " Swiss Family Robinson " by Joann Wyss (Imitated R.C. adventure)  " Black Beauty " by Anna Sewell (A story of inhumane or mistreated horse)  " Anne of Green Gables “ by Lucy Maud Montgomery (Story of an orphan)

According to the Merriam- Webster Dictionary  Contemporary- existing or happening in the same time period; from the same time period.  Realism- a style of art or literature that shows or describes people and things as they are in real life.  Fiction- literature that tells stories which are imagined by the writer.

 Realistic fiction is a work of fiction that is possible; meaning that it could really happen. Therefore it is not fantasy.  Is believable in nature and it contains characters that could be real people.

 Contemporary realistic fiction is the most popular genre in children’s literature.  Its literary works are believable and these are set in the modern world.  A lot of readers are interested in books that relate to their own lives. They look for titles that can help them reflect and confirm their lives. As a result, this genre projects “our life”.

 The key to understand this genre is the term fiction. Works that fall into this genre are realistic but must still be the product of the author's imagination.  This genre is considered unique because it allows its readers to easily identify themselves with characters and experiences from the literary work.  Readers of this genre will often encounter realistic themes that they may have already experienced themselves or may one day experience.

 Contemporary Realistic fiction is about people, their problems, and their challenges in life.  Characters in this genre are believable (realistic). Their language and actions should be appropriate for the setting of the story. These two should reflect the culture and social class in which they live (contemporary).  It should contain a line between stereotyping and realistic (objective writing).
