What Makes it a “Good” Fiction?

No One Is Here Except All of Us is a story about a tribe migrates for escaping from war. They have migrated from one place to another for many years. They go across the face of the earth (ocean, mountains, and deserts), and they have never stop moving for hundreds years. They want to hide at some place for keeping safe. I think it’s a good fiction, because it makes my heart soars. 

“No One Is Here Except All of Us” is a good fiction name, which raises readers’ curiousness and attracts their attention. The first part of the story is narrating the premise by decorative and “flowery” language. The narrator describes the charming face of the earth, which implying their tribe goes though oceans, mountains, and deserts. “We remember the story, they thought, but let the story not remember us.” This sentence makes me ponder deeply over the word “forgotten.” Their grandparents want them to forget the horrible history about the war, and just hide in the island until they are safe.

The next part of the story is almost dialogue and the mental activity of the narrator. One day, a stranger appearance at the beach. The narrator meets the stranger, and begins to wonder the world. “The beginning of the perfect world,” the narrator says. As the narrator’s advice, the people who live in the island realize there is no one exists but them and God. Thus, they decide to rebuild the world. “And we hoped that it would be good.” The ending seems like a very hopeful beginning. They are creating a new world with their best wishes that gives readers a space to image how good the world will be.
