Interpretive Fiction or Escapist Ficton

In my opinion I would rather choose Escapist Fiction over Interpretive Fiction because Escapist fiction provides a psychological escape from the thoughts of everyday life by immersing the reader in exotic situations or even activities. There for Interpretive fiction typically refers to a parable or fable, as in short stories they convey a moral lesson by using fictitious narrative, which illustrates one or more practical truths.

Lord of the Flies, which is a Interpretive fiction, is a novel about school boys who get trapped on a island and try to fight and survive for their own good. This novel didn't interest me because it was frustrating to have to read 6 pages in to actually understand whats going on. This novel had to much information about the setting, and background info. Lord of the Flies is a long, boring novel and i wouldn't recommend this book to my friends or anybody.

Leslie's Journal, which is a Escapist Fiction, is a book about a teenage girl who falls for a coward and puts herself in danger while cancelling everyone out of her life. This book was very interesting to me, and its a book where you can't just put down and walk away from, you have to read more. Also, mostly all teenage girls around the world can and could relate to this young girl in the book. Over all I did enjoy Leslie's Journal!

Is Hulk misunderstood?

The Hulk is misunderstood for his strong emotions, such as anger, terror, and grief. In this case people misjudge him for something he really isn't, a monster. The quote, "The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets!" is simply true, but it's not for the cause to harm people, its because he's angry. What people need to understand about the Hulk is that this wasn't the life he chose...It chose him. The only time when he presents himself is when hes frustrated and sees him and others in danger. Also when he sees fear in peoples eyes, calling for help. So don't misjudge the hulk, follow by his side, be his friend and he will help you in return when something bad comes your way.
