After the play, I said to my daughter, "that was real, you know". Her and Daniel both responded, "no, it wasn't". This was my first lesson in historical fiction. I explained that, especially when the KKK came out, oh, it was shivering, but the same events were taking place at the time the play was written. My daughter then explains "historical fiction". Her and Daniel did a project together for their mass media class. I read it and tried to find "meaning" in it. My daughter tells me, "no, there is no meaning in it, it was just my imagination in order to complete the project", yet,....I am trying to attach meaning to it. She then tells me, "that is historical fiction".
The Cherokee use to worship to the "rain priest" in order to bring rain to their crops. This is my painting of the "rain prist". We desperately need rain. Is this considered "historical fiction"?
