Can you give an example of a 'heap of fiction' in real life?

In the world of advertising, there are often elements of what could be called'smoke and fiction'. Advertisers sometimes use flashy but not entirely accurate claims (fiction) to promote their products. The'smoke' could be the alluring visuals or jingles that distract from the sometimes - tenuous truth of the claims. For example, a beauty product might claim to give you perfect skin (fiction) with the help of some fancy - looking but not really that effective ingredients, and the glamorous ad campaign (smoke) makes you believe it.

Sure. One example could be J.K. Rowling. She was a single mother living on welfare when she started writing the Harry Potter series. But then her books became a huge global success, and she became one of the richest and most famous authors in the world.

Sure. History can be seen as 'forever a novel'. There are countless stories of different civilizations, their rises and falls, the wars, the cultural developments. And as we keep researching and discovering new things about the past, new 'chapters' are added to this grand 'novel' of history.

Starting a new job can be 'always a novel'. There are new colleagues to meet, new tasks to learn, and new office dynamics to understand. It's like entering a new world where you don't know what will happen next. There are always new situations arising, similar to how a novel has various twists and turns as the story progresses.

Sure. There is a story about a community coming together to clean up a local park. Volunteers of all ages showed up, and they spent the whole day picking up trash, planting new trees and flowers. It not only made the park beautiful again but also strengthened the bond among the community members.

Imagine a movie buff who only watches critically - acclaimed, so - called 'peak fiction' movies. They become so used to the high - quality production, complex plots, and deep themes of these movies that when they try to watch other less - known or mainstream movies, they can't enjoy them at all. Their love for movies outside of this 'peak' category seems to 'die' because of their over - exposure to the best ones.

One example could be if a family subscribes to a children's story app. The wife, who manages the family finances, pays for the monthly or annual subscription so that the kids can have access to a variety of stories.

Sure. One example could be the faith of those who survived a natural disaster. Their real - life experience of facing extreme danger and then being rescued or finding a way to rebuild their lives can strengthen their faith in humanity, in the power of community, and in a higher power if they believe in one. For instance, after a hurricane, people come together to help each other. This real - life story of kindness and survival can be the basis for a new - found or strengthened faith in the goodness of people.

Sure. A car accident is a good example. The car's event data recorder (a kind of black box) records data before and during the accident. The story is that a driver was going at a certain speed, applied brakes at a specific time, and then the car collided. Investigators use this data from the black box to piece together the story of what led to the accident.

Sure. Let's say a writer is working on a novel. They start on January 1st and write every day. By September 7th (assuming it's not a leap year), it could be 'day 241 on story'. They might use this to mark their progress, like how much of the plot they've developed or how their characters have evolved over those 241 days.
