A hoax is an idea or belief put out that is false but displayed in a way in order to convince others that it is true. Literature is a piece of written work that’s written to tell a story, inform, or just to entertain. A hoax written can be a piece of literature called “Frankenstein”, written by Mary Shelly. However, a hoax is based on something mostly believed to be just a story or maybe a fairytale, but the author is telling the story as if its real and tries to warn their audience and show them the urgency of the character or topic in the hoax; while non hoax literature isn’t formatted to warn their audience about a supernatural creature, spirit or creation. When reading a hoax, it brings that question to the reader’s mind “what if this is true, what if this actually happened?” While literature doesn’t leave that lingering affect on its reader, it will bring up other questions but not questions on what else exists with them in this world.
