An example of brainstorming could be writing down your ideas then coming back to them later and adding onto them.

4. Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Science Fiction
This is science fiction because although it is not a true story, it involves scientific concepts such as dinosaurs, volcanoes, and prehistoric man.
5. No Way In
Realistic Fiction
This gives a detailed description of what a high school student may go through whilst trying to fit into a new environment. This is relatable and this, it is realistic to what a high school student's experience is really like.
6. Bump in the Night
Historical Fiction
Although the characters and their part in this historical event are fictional, the historical event taking place is not fictional. It describes what a soldier experiences during a war and the psyche processes that take place.
This could be realistic fiction but as it involves the American Civil War, historical fiction is more relevant.
We never see Amir's mother in the novel, but nonetheless she exerts an influence. Baba perhaps blames Amir for her sudden death (she dies giving birth to Amir). In a way, she's the wedge between Baba and Amir. As Baba pushes Amir more and more toward "manly" activities like soccer and kite-flying, Amir resists by reading his mother's poetry books. She also has books on the Hazara people, which suggests that she, like Rahim Khan, has some of the most forward-thinking and compassionate views on ethnicity in the novel. It's odd how Amir's mother "feminizes" him even though she's almost completely absent. In fact, we have to disagree with Amir when he later says "I had been raised by men; I hadn't grown up around women" (13.97). Like Rahim Khan, who also encourages Amir's writing, Amir's mother has been there all along with him.
