So far, I understand nonfiction to be reality. Anything in the world that is not pre planned and literally what is real and authentic. David Shield’s chapter called ‘reality’, does perfectly capture the true essence of nonfiction, with numerous quotes from sayings of people, or quotes from texts such as autobiographies and biographies from famous or well known sayings or people. At a first glance the reading appears extremely random with no order to it, however I have come to realise that nonfiction does have no order to it, as there is no plot or storyline that comes with nonfiction. Throughout the discussions in class about nonfiction and noticing, as well as participating in the activity of filming on a Go Pro verses an iPhone, I have realised nonfiction is everything. When using the GoPro it is evident the GoPro will film everything it can within the width of its lens, it will not choose to focus on anything specific, unlike when using an iPhone, as we try to capture specific objects or people. Therefore I believe nonfiction is the reality of where a person is, and that a GoPro can capture more of the overall nonfiction, and the iPhone only captures aspects of the nonfiction. I have learnt so far that our nonfiction is controlled by what we notice, both nonfiction and noticing work hand in hand, as a quote from David Shield’s ‘reality’ “the world is everything that is the case”, does relate to this concept, that nonfiction/the world is everything, and us as humans notice only aspects of that everything. As mentioned in John Mason’s reading, our brains are highly selective and us as humans would not be able to cope if we could notice every aspect of reality/nonfiction all at once, yet it is still important to aim to notice different aspects to nonfiction one does not usually notice.
