It is generally agreed that reading non-fiction
books
is more helpful than reading fiction. I totally agree with
this
notion. Because it will proliferate the knowledge and the person will be mentally prepared in case of
such
circumstances.
To begin
with, non-fiction content increases the knowledge of readers mainly related to historical events. It may or may not be recent,
however
, it is quite fascinating to learn and analyze the incidents.
On the other hand
, fiction
books
are based on a unreal world, apart from entertainment, it may be of no use in any particular knowledge domain which can be applied in pragmatic
life
.
However
,
on the other hand
,
books
such
as a biography of Mahatma Gandhi can be thought-provoking as it based on true incidents.
Furthermore
, Non-fiction
books
will prepare a person mentally in case of
such
an incident happens in real
life
.
For example
, a book related to a love story and a boy cheating on a girl may act as a heads-up for a reader. As It will help her to provide directions on how to handle or avert
such
situations in real
life
.
Additionally
, the reader will be in a position to advise another person to give guidance.
On the other hand
, fictional
books
are not in real use cases and
hence
cannot utilize in real
life
.
For instance
, Harry Potter
books
are merely a fantasy but not reality. In conclusion, I am fully convinced that, non-fictional
books
not only assist in increasing understanding but
also
act as a heads-up for the upcoming
life
.
