Fiction can bring imaginary ideas to life by using realistic events. This can give you an idea that actually could come to life and makes you think about it. For example, an author could use real life problems but extraordinary characters, also real settings can help bring together the story better, the author can also have realistic items in the story, but use them in an crazy exotic way that makes it seem more imaginary.
By using realistic events, but extraordinary characters (or the other way around), it can provide wonder to the story. Using realistic events can make the story have more detail and by doing that can make everything seem more realistic, but also imaginary. If it is a realistic event maybe people can create that event. If it is a realistic character you can easily notice that it’s real but obviously by the whole realistic fiction thing the author is going to have an extraordinary situation and position.
Next, fiction can bring imaginary things to life by using real items (example a brush) but use them in an crazy exotic way that makes it fiction and seems more imaginary. The place and time can also bring imaginary fiction to life. It can bring it to life by if the setting is realistic (for example a mall) it can be easily be bring to life. You can easily have a realistic time setting too. Instead of having a recent time setting.
That’s how fiction can bring Imaginary things to life. By using real life problems but extraordinary events, and having realistic items in the story, but use them in a crazy exotic way.
