Fantasy:
Fantasy
is usually referred as the addition on to Traditional literature. Since both
genres are so closely linked together the two main terms for describing them
are traditional fantasy and modern fantasy. Children often refer to the
enchantment and ability to make unrealistic worlds come alive as Magic. The ten types of fantasy are;
animal fantasy, literary fairy tale, animated object fantasy, human with fantasy
character, extraordinary person, enchanted journey, high fantasy, supernatural
fantasy, science fiction and unlikely situation. Each sub-category has its own
characteristics but they all incorporate the foundation of fantasy. In order to
‘tap-into’ this magic readers must be able to suspend disbelief and uncover the
possibilities within a book.
I strive to
achieve and ask of each book:
·
Is the plot original?
·
Is the main character truly heroic?
·
Is the quest purposeful?
·
Are the fantasy elements of the story well
developed?
