Starting the Journey Imagination is the part of mind that creates new ideas and concepts of external objects. Immanuel Kant, an 18th-century philosopher, viewed imagination as a crucial component in cognitive, aesthetic, and moral aspects of lives, integrating with thinking, reasoning, and understanding of the world. Imaginative stories are narratives that transport readers to imaginative worlds, often filled with fantastical creatures and experiences. They encourage creativity, spark imagination, and allow readers to explore possibilities beyond reality. These stories often feature complex characters, unique plot twists, and detailed settings, making them engaging and memorable. In this chapter, you are going to learn about fiction. You will also learn its genres and features, and how it differs from one another. Explain A fiction is defined as “a series of imagined facts which illustrates truths about human life.” It is a story written about imaginary characters and events and not based on real people and facts.

Coraline (Excerpt) by Neil Gaiman (Novel - England) It sounded like her mother. Coraline went into the kitchen, where the voice had come from. A woman stood in the kitchen with her back to Coraline. She looked a little like Coraline’s mother. Only… Only her skin was white as paper. Only she was taller and thinner. Only her fingers were too long, and they never stopped moving, and her dark red fingernails were curved and sharp. “Coraline?” the woman said. “Is that you?” And then she turned around. Her eyes were big black buttons. “Lunchtime, Coraline,” said the woman. “Who are you?” asked Coraline. “I’m your other mother,” said the woman. “Go and tell your other father that lunch is ready,” She opened the door of the oven. Suddenly Coraline realized how hungry she was. It smelled wonderful. “Well, go on.” Coraline went down the hall, to where her father’s study was. She opened the door. There was a man in there, sitting at the keyboard, with his back to her. “Hello,” said Coraline. “I – I mean, she said to say that lunch is ready.” The man turned around. His eyes were buttons, big and black and shiny. “Hello Coraline,” he said. “I’m starving.” He got up and went with her into the kitchen. They sat at the kitchen table, and Coraline’s other mother brought them lunch. A huge, golden-brown roasted chicken, fried potatoes, tiny green peas. Coraline shovelled the food into her mouth. It tasted wonderful. “We’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” said Coraline’s other father. “For me?” “Yes,” said the other mother. “It wasn’t the same here without you. But we knew you’d arrive one day, and then we could be a proper family. Would you like some more chicken?” It was the best chicken that Coraline had ever eaten. Her mother sometimes made chicken, but it was always out of packets or frozen, and was very dry, and it never tasted of anything. When Coraline’s father cooked chicken he bought real chicken, but he did strange things to it, like stewing it in wine, or stuffing it with prunes, or baking it in pastry, and Coraline would always refuse to touch it on principle. She took some more chicken. “I didn’t know I had another mother,” said Coraline, cautiously. “Of course you do. Everyone does,” said the other mother, her black button eyes gleaming. “After lunch I thought you might like to play in your room with the rats.” “The rats?” “From upstairs.” Coraline had never seen a rat, except on television. She was quite looking forward to it. This was turning out to be a very interesting day after all. Discussion Questions: 1. Have you ever wished that you had a different mother or father?

In the peaceful Shire, a place where green hills roll endlessly and the scent of pipeweed fills the air, Halwen Brandybuck, a spirited young hobbit with a love for adventure, dreams of a life beyond the borders of her quaint village. Fascinated by tales of distant lands and brave souls, she often finds herself gazing at the stars, longing for something more than the simple pleasures of Shire life. One day, while exploring the woods near her home, Halwen encounters a mysterious stranger—a dashing elf named Eldrin from the Elven Kingdom of Lothlórien. Drawn to each other through the glimmer of starlight and the magic of the woods, their initial meeting ignites a spark of romance that neither can ignore. As they spend secret afternoons together, sharing stories of their lives, Halwen learns about Eldrin’s quest to protect the realm from dark forces threatening the peace of Middle Earth. His tales of bravery captivate her, and she finds herself falling for his daring spirit and kind heart. Meanwhile, Eldrin is enchanted by Halwen's warmth and laughter, seeing in her the resilience and courage he admires in hobbits. However, their love faces challenges—from the disapproval of Halwen’s family, who wish for her to marry a respectable hobbit, to the looming threat of the dark forces that Eldrin must confront. 2. In the year 2008, humanity had colonized Titan, Saturn’s moon, creating the vibrant city of New Horizon under the oppressive rule of Helix Technologies. As food shortages escalated, whispers of rebellion emerged. Mira Labin, a young engineer, felt trapped in a society slowly collapsing, until she intercepted a mysterious transmission. “Mira, we need your help. Meet us at the ruins of The Horizon Tower at midnight.” Curiosity and urgency propelled her to the tower, a relic of early colonization. Inside, she found Kai, a leader of the underground group known as The Reclaimers, who possessed an old satellite relay. They needed her expertise to modify it for a desperate transmission to rally support from Earth and Mars. As dawn broke, Mira finished her work. Together, they recorded a bold message: “To anyone listening, we are the people of Titan, oppressed by greed. Join us in our fight for liberation!” The message echoed into the void, igniting hope among the colonists. In the weeks that followed, uprisings against Helix sparked across the moon. Finally, reinforcements arrived not from Helix, but from Earth and Mars, answering the call. Standing at the frontlines alongside her newfound allies, Mira understood that hope, once  ignited, could conquer fear and darkness. Together, they would reclaim their future among the stars. 3. In a small Belgian town, spirited Amélie Duval dreamed of adventure beyond her cobblestone streets. Her brother, Pierre, had moved to Paris to study art, and their lively correspondence ignited her imagination. One golden afternoon, Amélie sent him another letter, recounting the trivial joys of daily life. But the world outside was changing. By August, the air thickened with tension as news of war swept through her town. Pierre enlisted immediately, filled with youthful idealism, while Amélie worried each day. As months passed, her letters became her lifeline. Then, one December morning, a soldier knocked at her door with grim news. “It’s from your brother,” he said, handing her a letter. Her heart raced as she read Pierre's warm words, filled with camaraderie and hope. “I will return to you,” he promised. But as winter turns to spring, letters grow scarce. One fateful afternoon, a soldier came again. “Your brother is lost, Amélie.” Grief overwhelmed her as she clutched the last letter, but within her sorrow, she felt Pierre’s spirit urging her to live. Determined to honor his memory, Amélie began writing stories inspired by their correspondence, sharing tales of love and resilience throughout war-torn Europe. Her words became a balm for many, a source of hope in despair. Amélie’s tribute kept Pierre’s memory alive, proving that even amidst darkness, the bond of love could shine brightly, and dreams could be reborn in the hearts of those who remained.

Autobiographies, on the other hand, are written by the subject themselves, offering a personal and firsthand account of their experiences. Both genres offer valuable insights into the lives of historical figures, celebrities, and everyday people, providing readers with a unique perspective on the human experience. Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom is an autobiography, detailing his life experiences and struggles against apartheid in South Africa.

Share your Perspective. Read and analyze the passage below. Answer the following question The Philippines were claimed in the name of Spain in 1521 by Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain, who named the islands after King Philip II of Spain. They were then called Las Felipinas. By the 1830's Spanish culture and thought had penetrated into Filipino culture to the extent that the Filipino people began thinking about liberation from Spain. The government of Spain developed Filipino agriculture to the point that it was self-sufficient. After some attempts at independence, and an equal number of atrocities on the part of Spain, Filipino Nationalists began to speak out. One of the most famous of the time was Jose Rizal. He studied medicine at the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines and the University of Madrid. Rizal wrote two important novels that portrayed the abuses of Spanish rule. Although the books were banned, they were smuggled into the Philippines and widely read. On the night of his execution, on December 30, 1896, Rizal proclaimed the Philippines "the Pearl of the Oriental Seas". His death is annually commemorated on December 30. Rizal's execution gave impetus to the revolution. Although the Filipino rebels, lead by Emilio Aguinaldo, did not win complete independence, the Spanish were not able to end the rebellion. In December of 1897, negotiations with Spain resulted in the Pact of Biak-na-Bato. All of the rebels were granted amnesty and the leaders of the revolution returned in voluntary exile to Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, Aguinaldo and his compatriots designed what is today the Philippine national flag. Answer the following question: 1. Who was Ferdinand Magellan, and what was his significance in the history of the Philippines? 2. What impact did Spanish culture have on Filipino society by the 1830’s? 3. Who was Jose Rizal, and how did his works contribute to the nationalist movement in the Philippines?  4. What was the Pact of Biak-na-Bato, and what were its outcomes for the Filipino rebels? 5. What was the significance of Rizal’s execution on December 30, 1896, in relation to the Philippine Revolution? Evaluate Story in Print.. Create a brochure by selecting the topic below.

The author uses strong emotions and vivid language to fully engage readers in the world they are trying to create In this chapter, you are going to learn the various genres of poetry, interpret the meaning of different genres, and how you will be a creative writer. Explain An important way of analyzing poetry is to examine its form and stanza structure. In general, structure refers to the way lines are arranged and/or the typical sound patterns. However, poems do not have the same structure. STANZA. A stanza is a group of lines that are separated from other stanzas by a space. In an essay, they are equivalent to a paragraph. By counting the number of lines, one can determine the stanza. For example, the excerpt: Beneath the canopy of emerald dreams, The trees sway gently, whispering their tales, Sunlight filters through, like golden beams, Dancing with shadows, where silence prevails. FORMS. A poem can often be classified based on its form or style even though it does not have specific lines, or a stanza. The three most common forms of poetry—lyric, descriptive, and narrative. A. Lyric Poetry. It is any poem in which a single speaker—who need not be the poet—expresses intense emotions and ideas. Most modern poems are lyric poetry. Here are some types of lyric poetry: 1. Ode. An ode is a lyric poem that praises an individual, idea, or event, typically with a moderate length, serious subject, elevated style, and elaborate stanza pattern. Example: Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, But being too happy in thine happiness, That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees, In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease. 2. Sonnet. A 14-line poem employing a specific rhyme scheme and fixed structure to delve into a single idea or issue. Example: My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun, by William Shakespeare My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white,  But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. 3. Narrative Poetry. Narrative poetry, using poetic devices like rhyme, meter, and verse, tells a story with a plot, characters, and setting, similar to a novel. Example: The Iliad by Homer Sing, Goddess, Achilles' rage, Black and murderous, that cost the Greeks Incalculable pain, pitched countless souls Of heroes into Hades' dark, And left their bodies to rot as feasts For dogs and birds, as Zeus' will was done. Begin with the clash between Agamemnon- The Greek warlord - and godlike Achilles. 4. Descriptive Poetry. The author uses imagery to depict places, people, and things, utilizing the five senses to create an image in the reader's mind. Example: Midnight and Moonlight by Kelly Roper Her hair as dark as midnight Sleek and wavy, trailing down. Her skin as pale as moonlight Projects a silvery glow all around. The night so cool and quiet, As the stars twinkle in the sky. And all of nature stands in awe, As this beauty passes by. Other Form of Poetry 1. Haiku. It is a lyric poem with an unrhymed verse form consisting of three lines, typically consisting of 5, 7, or 5 syllables. For example: A World of Dew by Kobayashi Issa A world of dew, And within every dewdrop A world of struggle.  2. Acrostic Poem. Also known as name poems, are written by spelling out names or words with the first letter in each line Example: Elizabeth by Edgar Allan Poe Elizabeth it is in vain you say ‘Love not’ — thou sayest it in so sweet a way: In vain those words from thee or L. E. L. Zantippe’s talents had enforced so well: Ah! if that language from thy heart arise, Breathe it less gently forth — and veil thine eyes. Endymion, recollect, when Luna tried To cure his love — was cured of all beside — His folly — pride — and passion — for he died. Extend 1. Truth Check. True or False 1.

There are some qualities—some incorporate things That have a double life—life aptly made, The type of that twin entity which springs From matter and light, evinced in solid and shade. There is a two-fold Silence—sea and shore— Body and soul. One dwells in lonely places,  Newly with grass o’ergrown. Some solemn graces Some human memories and tearful lore, Render him terrorless—his name’s “No More.” He is the corporate Silence—dread him not! No power hath he of evil in himself; But should some urgent fate—an untimely lot! Bring thee to meet his shadow (nameless elf, Who haunteth the dim regions where hath trod No foot of man)—commend thyself to God! 4.
