Science Fiction
Science fiction includes stories that are based on scientific fact. It can include space fiction and time travel. In time travel and space fiction, the characters travel back and/or forward in time. In stories for children, the characters often begin in the real world, go off on their adventure, and then return to the real world. The author tries to make the facts as realistic as possible so the reader believes the event could actually take place. Although fantastic, science fiction contains elements within the realm of possibility because of scientific discovery. Examples are The Giver, by Lois Lowry; Running Out of Time, by Margaret Haddix; and A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle.
Science fiction authors write stories that present alternative perspectives to reality, such as "What if?" They ground their writings in elements of science and scientific principles. The writing must contain an internal consistency in language and story structure, while weaving in the necessary details to the story. The future is imagined and conceptualizes the past. The plot may involve elements from other genres such as; mystery,romance, comedy, and adventure.http://dordt.libguides.com/content.php?pid=116297&sid=1004424
