  2. What is it? In this novel, the main character is in Alaska running the Iditarod. Title: Winterdance What is your book’s genre? Write it here: Realistic Fiction , Expository Text Example: The race is real and in a real setting. Readers could actually travel to the setting location. Example: It’s cold freezing temperatures the main character has to get through to win the race . Example: The dogs get tired and need rest just as they would in real life.

  3. Attribute: Setting makes this book a Realistic Fiction. This book is a Realistic Fiction because it takes place in Alaska, a place that you can indeed visit on this earth. Also because he is running a race called the Iditarod which is a real race ran in Alaska. “So, once every four days or so I would harness the problem dogs and head up a mountain and try to learn from them about them. We were in Alaska to train three month before my second Iditarod race, and I was learning as much as the dogs”. (Pg. 1)

  4. Attribute: Because my main character is in a real place running a real race using sleds and dogs this is an Expository Text. I had in mind finishing the run. Making some kind of loop---eighty or ninety miles----and getting done with it and back into camp and comfort where I could sew a new band for the headlamp…”. (Pg. 3)

  5. Attribute: This novel is Realistic Fiction because all of the things that happened in the story could have really happened in actual life. The music was souring. The wind was increasing exponentially. It had lacked purpose for a time, wallowed this way and that, but now it had direction and some force. And the sleet had increased as well; not completely obscuring vision yet----”. (Pg 3-4)

  6. What is it? In my novel, Gary Pulsen did and excellent job of creating a setting and event that could be created in real like, representing Realistic Fiction. He used vivid description of the climate and weather conditions that the setting he chose would have. From freezing winds, to hardships in the snow he depicted his setting perfectly. The race was long and the setting changed nicely. Pulsen changed setting and still kept me interested in reading because me as a reader could follow the change.
