Long time ago, computer was a fiction, automobile was a fiction, and many other things were fiction before. Fiction and imagination are correlated. Imagination and thinking are correlation. We are encouraged to imagine wildly and freely because only that could move our world forward. Knowledge is the foundation of the building our life and societies. It is the most important things in our life. For example, why are we required to learn history in our early age? Because histories are knowledge, histories teach us knowledge about the past, about why and how world war 1 and world war 2 happened, so hopefully that we would not have war again. Histories are nonfiction knowledge, while imaginations are fiction knowledge. How? Because fiction allows to imagine hypothetical situations, allows us to prepare for the foreseeable future. Afterward, we can learn and gain knowledge about improve ourselves when similar situations surface.

According to “Maybe imagining and naming is a form (and a part of) controlling or taming things unknown.” in Hasif Amini’s “Story”, I think that maybe knowledge was created by people’s fiction. I believe when unknown things happened, people use their imagination to understand it. Time to time, people wrote stories to tell others about their experiences in life, it could be fiction or nonfiction, but it still would make others think. In addition, according to the reading, “Tell a story, so that we understand why and how this world was created, who our ancestors were and where they came from, so that we understand where we are and where we may be going.” The story tells us about knowledge, but these stories are come from the fiction. Fiction makes people think and imagine, from thinking and imagination, knowledge is created.
