What is the difference between documentary literature and documentary literature?

Documentary literature and documentary literature are two related but not identical concepts. Although they all emphasize authenticity and objectivity, they are still different from each other in terms of literary creation.

First of all, documentary literature usually refers to a literary form that tells the facts through the author's narration and description based on real events. This kind of literary works often use the narrative skills of novels to show the course of events from the perspective of one or more characters. Documentary literature pays attention to the development of plots and characterization to attract readers' interest, and explores themes and ideas through the authenticity of events. For example, john steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, based on the life of migrant workers in California during the Great Depression, reveals the social class problem by tracing a family story.

In contrast, documentary literature focuses more on the recording and description of real events. It emphasizes the persistence of authenticity and objectivity, and tries to present real facts through first-hand information and evidence. Documentary literature often appears in the form of essays or reports, paying more attention to the accuracy and reliability of facts. Compared with documentary literature, it pays more attention to the presentation and understanding of facts and pays less attention to narrative skills and literary effects. For example, Andersen, the author of The Little Match Girl, takes a poor little girl as the theme and reflects social injustice by describing her experience of selling matches in the cold winter.

To sum up, documentary literature and documentary literature are both literary forms with real events as the theme, but they are different in narrative angle, expression and purpose. Documentary literature pays more attention to the development of stories and the shaping of characters, while documentary literature pays more attention to the recording and description of real events. Whether it is documentary literature or documentary literature, it conveys the author's observation and thinking about reality through true description and narration.
