What makes graphology seem like science or fiction?

Graphology is more of a fiction. While it claims to analyze personality based on handwriting, there is no scientific basis to prove a consistent and reliable connection. Many supposed correlations are just unfounded superstitions. For example, the idea that a big loop in a 'y' indicates creativity has no scientific proof. It's often used in a pseudoscientific way in some pop - culture settings.

For it to be fact, we have the existence of genetically modified crops which are a result of genetic engineering. These crops are designed to have specific traits. However, the idea of 'frankenfood' as science fiction comes from the way some media and anti - GMO groups portray it. They create a picture of Frankenstein - like creations that will take over the world or cause massive health problems, which is far from the truth.

The lack of a complete and viable Neanderthal genome is a major factor. Without it, we can't even begin to attempt cloning. Also, the technology for cloning complex organisms like humans or Neanderthals is still in its infancy and has many limitations.

A good science fiction story has solid scientific basis and logical reasoning. When the technology or concepts presented make sense and are somewhat feasible, it feels more real.

The use of data. Life care planning relies on a lot of data such as demographic data, health statistics, and cost - of - living data. This data is used to project future needs and costs. For example, insurance companies use actuarial tables based on real - world data to price long - term care insurance. This shows that it is a scientific process based on facts and figures.

The outlandish stories. It has tales of angels coming down and having improper relations with humans, which seem more like mythological concepts. There's no scientific or historical proof for such events.

The fact that it is set in a historical period makes it seem like it could be based on fact. But the idea of a woman being able to hide her identity so well in the military for so long is more on the fictional side. Also, the lack of concrete historical records about a specific 'Mulan' points towards it being fictional.

What makes it seem like fiction is the use of literary devices such as symbolism and metaphor. For instance, the things the soldiers carry are symbolic of their emotional and psychological burdens, which is a fictional way of exploring deeper meanings. On the other hand, it has a non - fiction feel because it is set in a real historical context, the Vietnam War. The author's own participation in the war lends an air of authenticity. The descriptions of the physical environment, like the jungles and the military bases, are based on real - life locations. So it straddles the line between fiction and non - fiction.

In 'Pulp Fiction', a character might seem like a 'bitch' if they have a really snappy and mean - spirited attitude all the time. For instance, if they are always making cutting remarks to others and showing no compassion. Also, being overly self - centered and not caring about the consequences of their actions for others can give that impression.

It seems like fiction because of the overly dramatic and theatrical presentation. Real - life death situations are not presented in such a contrived way.
