Fiction and NonFiction

Question 11 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

How is the nonfictional text in "Crossing the River” similar to the fictional text in "The People Could Fly”?

Answer
A
Both use narratives told by formerly enslaved people to tell about the Underground Railroad.
B
Both suggest that attempting to gain freedom was a lost cause.
C
Both use historical details to describe the life of an actual person.
D
Both tell an inspirational story about an enslaved person becoming free.

Explanation

“The People Could Fly” tells a fictional, inspirational story of enslaved people escaping to freedom. “Crossing the River” also describes an enslaved person gaining freedom, though it is nonfiction. Both texts therefore share an uplifting story about becoming free; the Underground Railroad and an actual person are not common to both.
