Introduction
Throughout the course, we have been walking the blurred line between reality and fiction. In our first unit, “Selling Fiction,” we looked at those who create fiction in real life, where we focused on con artists and the art of advertising. In our second unit, “Embracing Fiction,” we looked at those who survived their reality by embracing fiction, creating false identities for themselves in the fiction television series The Riches and the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. The final unit, “Truth in Fiction,” explores how fictional stories provide us with important messages about reality, whether they speak to us about our world or ourselves as individuals.
