GIVING
CONCLUSIONS TO
REALISTIC FICTION
Realistic fiction
is a genre that seems real but is
not. Realistic means that
something seems real while
fiction means stories that are not
real.
A conclusion is a
statement a reader makes
after reading a passage in
the story.
To draw a conclusion, one can use the story
clues (what you read in the text) and your own
experience (what you already know) to figure
out things that were not fully explained in a
story. The selection or story does not really say
the answers to the questions, but you can
conclude the answers from what you read.
What do you think will
happen if:
a. it wouldn’t rain for several
days
b. you will not study diligently
Lyle was excited as she looked
outside her window. Dark clouds had
blocked out the sun. A strong wind
was blowing through the trees. She
heard thunder off in the distance.

Miss Ranin politely excused herself and left the
breakfast table. She was not feeling well. She had
been resting in her cabin for some time when she
smelled smoke. She thought it was from the machine
room. Then, she heard an alarm. “Maybe it’s just the
foghorn,” she said to herself. But when she opened
her cabin door, she saw people running and going up
to the upper deck.
Smoke was everywhere. She grabbed a life
jacket from under her bed and put on her
overcoat. In a few minutes, she was outside
her cabin. “This way!” a man said. “I must
find my brother,” she said as she followed the
man. “There is no time!” the man said as he
pushed her towards the lifeboat.
