Title: The Great Wave

Text:

Hokusai was a Japanese artist. He created one of the most famous Japanese artworks ever made. It is called The Great Wave off Kanagawa, more simply known as The Great Wave.

The title of Hokusai's artwork is very fitting. The wave in the picture is certainly great. It appears tremendously powerful and frightening. It towers over three boats full of fishermen. The fishermen brace themselves for impact. They know the wave is about to crash, and they must be prepared. The wave is incredibly tall, and its front edge appears to have a number of claw-like fingers extended and ready to attack. Far away in the background, we see a snow-covered mountain surrounded by a dark and cloudy sky. The mountain is called Mount Fuji—the highest mountain in Japan. Many people think that the wave and the mountain represent the power of nature. Many people say that the power of nature is evident in nearly all of Hokusai's artwork.

People often think The Great Wave is a painting, but it is not. It is a print made from a carved woodblock stamp. This means that the first thing the artist did was draw a design on paper. Then he carved the design into a block of wood. Next, he covered the carved block of wood with ink. Finally, he pressed the inked block against new paper. When the artist removed the inked block of wood from the paper, ink was left transferred to the paper according to the design that he carved into the wood. Relative to the creation of other forms of art (for example, in which paint is applied to canvas), this was a very complex process. Hokusai used this process to create several well-known prints, but none is as famous as The Great Wave.

Have you ever heard the saying, “That’s like trying to compare apples to oranges”? This phrase is used to point out drastic diff
elena55 [62]
Hey there,

The following question's are the questions that I will answer.

 When trying to distinguish between fiction and nonfiction, does the line between genres become blurred? Or, are there clear differences between these genres—like comparing apples to oranges? List and discuss the traits that you see in fiction and nonfiction works. Provide examples of each. Explain what you like and dislike about both fiction and nonfiction. What are some examples of works you have read that dance the line between both genres? Ultimately, would you rather read fiction or nonfiction?

Question #1 

When trying to distinguish between fiction and nonfiction, does the line between genres become blurred? 

Often, yes. Fiction and (non)-fiction can be very blurred when comparing. You have one genre that can totally be in a real case, and then you have (alot) of times where as fiction (itself) is just very (non) real. Like for example, "The Flintstones." That is fiction. We are not going to real live like them. They scrape there feet when they drive, (like who does that).

Question #2

Or, are there clear differences between these genres—like comparing apples to oranges?

Yes, not exactly all the time (fiction) & (non-fiction) is like this, but, the majority of the time,(fiction) & (non-fiction) can be like (apple & oranges)

Question #3

 List and discuss the traits that you see in fiction and nonfiction works. Provide examples of each. Explain what you like and dislike about both fiction and nonfiction. What are some examples of works you have read that dance the line between both genres?

(Trait's that I see in  fiction and nonfiction works. )

Some trait's that I see are that fiction works deal with alot of e.g: magic, human flying, and things that are not really real and things that can not be applied in real life. Now for the nonfiction work, this stuff would be real. I can apply movies like "paper town's) or "fault in our stars" and things like that. But things like "Batman (vs) Superman" and "Cars 3" and things like that are not real.

(Explain what you like and dislike about both fiction and nonfiction.)

I dont really like fiction. I love real life things. Things that can really happen in real life. I love that vibe. but also, I do like things like "spider-man" and things like that because they are cool. But I like more fiction things better. (opinion)

(What are some examples of works you have read that dance the line between both genres?)

Some things or (examples) that I know the align with both genre's would be things like "the way people feel" like you can tell in both genre's how the character feels. The things that are also things that line together would be things like (conflicts) and things like (exposition's) and (climax). They all either have (cliff hangers) and things that get a person excited. They also contain things like "love" and things like "romantic" and they also show different (POV). So those are some things that would have aligned together.

Question #4 (last question)

 (Ultimately, would you rather read fiction or nonfiction?)

I would rather read (fiction). I like the real feel of when a story is true and not just a little fake things.
_____________________________________________________________

I really hope this helps you. I tried my hardest on this and I also hope this helps future people in (advance).
