Non-Fiction VS. Fiction

I think both have an equal amount of value.
For non-fiction, it tells how what has happened, and therefore can give us real life experiences that we might be able to use for our own lives. For example, if there was a book written by a man who had survived in the cold, lost in the snow telling the readers about what he had to in able to survive, and the necessary precautions he had to take and tips on what to do when going out on a trip, someone might be able to use it in there lives, for when they go out, and they will know what they should do.  I think non-fiction tells us a lot about our past, and helps us know how others lived in other times. The Diary of Anne Frank would tell us what her life was as a young Jewish girl, and would help us understand more about the Holocaust and World War II, bettering our knowledge of our history and our participance in the war, and our contribution or lack of contribution to the cause.
Fiction to me is so valuable because it can create images in our head, that might not have happened, and uses so  much imagination, and can help us think the impossible. It lets our imagination soar, and broaden and expand the limits of our mind. Fiction can help us explain why something happen. For example, Narnia might give us ideas how the earths were formed. Fiction has no limits and can be anything and everything. Anything is possible, and we can create stories in our head. Personally, I prefer fiction because I feel it allows me to be more creative and artistic.
