Sure. When you receive a gift you don't like, but you say 'Thank you so much! It's just what I wanted.' That's a polite fiction.
Yes. When you visit someone's house and they serve you food that doesn't taste good, but you still eat some and say 'This is delicious'. And in a social gathering, if someone tells a not - so - funny joke, you laugh a little and say 'That was really funny' to be polite. These are all instances of polite fiction that we often use to keep the social environment pleasant.
Since I'm not certain about what exactly 'arrow polite fiction' is, I can't really give specific examples. It could be that there are some indie works or experimental stories out there that fit this label, but without a clear definition, it's difficult to point to any examples.
One example could be the relationship between the Ottoman Empire and some of its vassal states in the Balkans. The Ottomans had suzerainty over these states, but in reality, the vassal states often had a great deal of internal autonomy. The idea of Ottoman suzerainty was sometimes more of a polite fiction, as the Ottomans were more concerned with matters like tribute and nominal loyalty while the vassal states managed their own local affairs.
Yes. For instance, if you're a teacher teaching literature, you might say 'Just like how Harry Potter overcame his challenges, we can also face our difficulties bravely.' Here, the name Harry Potter is used to inspire students.
Sure. The popularity of superhero movies has led to a rise in real - life superhero cosplay and even some people trying to do 'superhero' - like acts of kindness in their communities.
One example of 'fatal fiction' in real life could be false news about a medical treatment. For example, if someone spreads the false information that a certain herbal remedy can cure cancer (which is a fatal fiction), some desperate patients might rely on it instead of proper medical treatment and endanger their lives.
Smart homes are a great example. In many science fiction movies or books, we see homes that can adjust the temperature, lighting, and security automatically. Today, with the help of Internet - of - Things technology, we can control our lights, thermostats, and security cameras remotely, making our homes smarter and more convenient, which is like living in a science - fiction - like environment.
Sure. In a school, when the teacher always gives the same type of homework every week, students might say it's the same old story. Another example is when a local coffee shop always has the same long queues in the morning. It's the same old story for the regular customers.
'Falling Man' by Don DeLillo is also a part of '9 11 fiction'. It focuses on the lives of several characters in the aftermath of the attacks, including a man who was in the towers and his struggle to come to terms with what happened. There are also other works like 'The Submission' which deal with the cultural and social implications in the post - 9/11 world.
Another example is when you visit a new place. If you go to a small, charming village that has a different architecture style from what you are used to, like the white - washed houses in Santorini, Greece, you are finding the village novel. Also, when you start using a new mobile app that has a very innovative user interface, you are finding it novel as well. There are many such instances in our daily lives where we encounter something new and find it novel.
Sure. Those mass - produced souvenirs that all look the same are 'almost zero novel'. They lack any unique or creative touch.
