“Read Fiction or Watch Movie”

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Reading fiction (such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable than watching movies. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.
--------------------------------------

Reading books is a creative activity and this adds to our knowledge and information that is useful in our student life and business or domestic life. And watching movie gives us entertainment, amusement, and enjoyment those are equally important for every one.

Fiction is not based purely on proven facts. Rather fiction is precisely, an imaginative kind of narration. The word fiction has been derived from the Latin language. Fiction means to form and create. Not necessarily all works of fiction are entirely imaginary. Such works may include people, places, and events that are real also. Furthermore not necessarily all fiction work be artistic, fiction is broadly perceived as a form of art and or entertainment. The ability to create fiction and other artistic works is considered to be a fundamental aspect of human culture, one of the defining characteristics of humanity.

Traditionally, fiction includes novels, short stories, fables, fairy tales, plays, and poems. Now it also encompasses films, comic books, and video games. The Internet has played a major role it has led to new forms of fiction, such as interactive computer games or computer-generated comics. Countless forums for fan fiction can be found online, where loyal followers of specific fictional realms create and distribute derivative stories.
Furthermore, fiction is used for instructional purposes, such as fictional examples used in school textbooks. It is used in propaganda and advertising. It used by parents to perpetuate Santa Claus or to instill beliefs.

In nutshell, it is impossible to generalize and say what is more enjoyable, reading fiction or watching movies. This largely depends upon the taste of an individual. If one has a hobby of reading he or she would enjoy reading or conversely movie watching. However on fiction side, I prefer movie to reading a book.
