Fiction et réalité

We studied the axis fiction and reality. These are two opposite words. Fiction is imaginary and without limits, it is a type of book or story that is written about imaginary characters and events and is not based on real people. On the contrary, reality is something real, that exists, it is a fact, the state of things as they are, rather than as we imagine them to be.

 I chose the second image which is a collage. On the left we see in the center a rocket with the flag of the United States, we can see in the background, white buildings, probably dedicated to scientists for control and research and at the bottom of the rocket a man in white, probably an astronaut.

The right part shows the cover of a novel entitled "All aboard for the moon" by Sherman. As can be seen on the left in the green circle, this is science fiction. We see a rocket in a hangar ready to take off, in the lower left corner in green probably the commander of the operation and at the bottom of the rocket, men busying themselves. The cover of this novel looks old, less recent than the photo on the left.

It depicts an imaginary futuristic society. Indeed, the novel on the right was published in the second half of the 20th century, while the photo on the right was taken in the 21st century. This is the starship rocket of the company Sapce X. It was announced in 2017 and the first test was conducted in December 2020. According to the boss of the company Space X, Elon Musk, it would be fully operational in 2023. The company's goal is to reduce the expense of spaceflight by developing a fully reusable rocket that could take off and return to the platform from which it was launched.

So, one might think that reality can be inspired by fiction.

There would thus be a reciprocal influence between fiction and reality. Indeed, the fiction would influence the reality, but the fiction can also be a means of criticism of the society thus the reality.
