Real people who live in a 38 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 39 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 40 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 41 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?

We use our 45 -- which is real-- and our imagination-- which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.

In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 53 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 54 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 55 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
