Modern Fantasy and Science Fiction Descriptions
  • Modern fantasy contains elements of unexplainable
    magic. Fantasy literature goes beyond the known
    world and creates a new or transformed world.
  • Low fantasy is actually set in the primary world,
    but magical elements make the story impossible.
  • Example Charlottes Web by E. B. White
  • In high fantasy, the author creates a new,
    secondary world that operates and is constrained
    by its own set of logical rules.
  • Example Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
    by J. K. Rowling
  • Science fiction builds on real developments in
    science to create a version of reality that is
    different from the one we now inhabit.

Fantasy and Science Fiction
  • Fantasy could never be. Science fiction has the
    possibility of happening within some time and in
    some place.
  • A story that is clearly impossible is called
    fantasy a story with aspects of the improbable
    is called science fiction.

4
Evolution of Modern Fantasy
  • Modern fantasy evolved from the traditional
    literature which arose from oral storytelling.
  • Literary folktales/fairy tales replicate
    traditional folktales but have a known author.
  • Example Hans Christian Andersens The Ugly
    Duckling
  • Embellished fairy tales build on established,
    traditional fairy tales but try to elaborate on
    characters motives and values.
  • Example Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
