we cannot experience in our real life. The

merit of good fictional
novels
is that they can provide readers broader

of imagination.
For example
, Shakespeare's famous plays can take the readers to various exciting worlds, which the author developed with his unlimited creativity. In the
world
of fiction, we can experience numerous exciting happenings which we can never live in our real daily life.

tend to be able to grow their capability to think and dream big. If school students read only realistic documentaries, their imaginations can be quite limited when they become adults. In conclusion, I believe reading fictions have significant merits compared to reading only non-fiction

can give us unlimited imaginative experiences and
