  9.

  10. Supernatural and Time Shift Fantasy • These are among the most popular types of Fantasy. These types include ghosts, witches, mysterious or unexplainable occurrences. These also include stories about Time Travel. • All of these are taking place in our primary world. • Younger children like nicer ghost stories while older teenagers like scarier ones. The more violent or gruesome, the more they seem to enjoy it.

  12. Heroic and Quest Fantasy • There is a hero or heroine that is in a colossal battle against a all powerful evil. Very often the fate of the society rests on the conclusion of the battle. • The Heroic fantasies are normally better woven then those of the supernatural fantasies. • In some heroic fantasies, the hero is taken from the primary world to the secondary world. • Most of these stories focus on the hero’s quest for identity.

  13. Special Qualities of Fantasy • Children demand two things from fantasy: They demand no nonsense and no treachery • Even though fantasy stories are of the impossible, children expect them to represented as if they were possible. They expect that every secondary world has certain rules in which the writers must abide by. • People expect Fantasy to be original and believable. In fact, more believable then realistic work. Readers desire a lot of detail, consistency and rooted in reality and human nature.
