Fiction or Non-Fiction
The Pirate, The Princess and Me The Rat
In class we read a short story in a Literacy book called “The Pirate, The Princess and Me The Rat.” Linda Bailey wrote this. I think that this story is a fictional story because I found three reasons in the story. Reason #1 is on page 27 it says the rat unpacks… how is that possible! Rats don’t have suitcases! Reason #2 is on page 30 the rat talks. The reason I know he says it is because it says “Hey buddy” He snarled “How’d you like a little bubonic plague?” Reason #3 is page 32 in the picture at the top of the page the rat is thinking about a girl rat with jewelry. Rats don’t have jewelry so that’s why think this story is a fictional story. All the non-fiction parts of this story are things that could happen, but there are more fiction things so that’s why I think it’s a fictional story.
