Can you recommend some good realistic fiction love stories?

Sure. 'I Am Legend' by Richard Matheson can be considered one. In it, the last man on Earth has to survive against the infected mutants. It shows a very real and gritty fight for survival. Also, 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy is a powerful survival story. A father and son journey through a post - apocalyptic world filled with danger at every turn. They struggle to find food, shelter and avoid the other desperate survivors.

Well, 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is an excellent example. It's about a woman's descent into madness due to her confinement. It's a powerful look at the treatment of women in the 19th century. Also, Raymond Carver has many great short stories like 'Cathedral'. It's a story about a man who has to deal with his wife's blind friend coming to visit. It's a story of human connection and understanding.

Sure. 'The Call of the Wild' by Jack London is a great one. It tells the story of a dog named Buck who has to adapt to the harsh Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. Another is 'Charlotte's Web' by E.B. White, which is about the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte. And 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell, though it has political undertones, is also a realistic fiction animal story that shows how animals might run a farm on their own.

There are many. For example, 'Normal People' by Sally Rooney. This story follows the on - again - off - again relationship between two young people in Ireland, dealing with class differences and the challenges of growing up. 'The Hate U Give' by Angie Thomas is another important modern realistic fiction. It tackles issues of racism and police brutality through the eyes of a young African - American girl. Also, 'Sing, Unburied, Sing' by Jesmyn Ward is a powerful exploration of family, race, and the legacy of trauma in the American South.

Sure. 'The Girl on the Train' by Paula Hawkins is a great one. It's about a woman who becomes involved in a mystery surrounding a missing person she observes during her daily train commute. Another is 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. The story is full of twists and turns as a man tries to find his missing wife, but things are not as they seem.

Another one is 'The Girl with All the Gifts' by M. R. Carey. It's set in a post - apocalyptic world where a young girl has a very strange condition. The story is scary in a more subtle way as it makes you question what it means to be human and the moral implications of survival.

Another excellent short story in realistic fiction is 'A&P' by John Updike. It focuses on a young cashier in a grocery store. Through his observations of the customers and his reaction to some girls who come into the store wearing bathing suits, it delves into themes of social class, conformity, and youthful rebellion in a very real - world context. The story's detailed descriptions of the store and the people in it make it feel highly authentic.

Sure. 'The Red Badge of Courage' by Stephen Crane can be considered in a sense a survival short story. It's about a young soldier in the Civil War trying to survive the chaos and his own fears. 'Hatchet' by Gary Paulsen is also a popular one. A boy is left alone in the wilderness and has to use his wits to stay alive. And 'The Hunger Games' (which started as a short story before becoming a novel) is about survival in a dystopian world where teens fight to the death.

Sure. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is an excellent example. It presents a realistic picture of racial inequality in the South through the eyes of a young girl. Another one is 'The Great Gatsby', which shows the real social situation, class differences and the pursuit of the American Dream in the 1920s.

I would recommend 'Anne of Green Gables'. It depicts the life of an orphan girl in a rural Canadian community in a very charming and realistic way. 'The Grapes of Wrath' is also a must - read. It shows the hardships of a family during the Dust Bowl and their journey to find a better life in California, highlighting social and economic issues of the time.
