That is what the author Patricia McCormick of Sold does. She tells us in so much detail about a real situation for real people. She may have made up a story about Indian sex slavery, but she tells us what is happening and what they person goes through and that much is true. Throughout the book she tells us facts of the situation without us really knowing it. We don't know it because it is just a story to us, but in fact we learn what is really happening in India. It tells the story of Lakshmi, a fictitious character, but in reality it really is someones story that we don't know.

Feiner Post 5
Stories have great meaning to humans. The mere words that are put in a story can keep us captivated for hours and hours. They inform us, make our imaginations run wild, and they even make you cry. Stories can make you understand a person, hear what they have gone through, feel what they felt. They play an important role. Books aren' t the only form of stories too. Stories are the what you tell your friend what you did that weekend or what you tell your mom about school that day. And not only can stories entertain us, but they can inform us in a way you never thought. It doesn't have to be boring non-fiction for us to actually learn something through stories, but they can tell us the truth about a situation in a totally different way.

I like that you said about Stories making our imaginations run wild. I completely agree with this because when listening or reading stories with no pictures we have to use our imagination to create the picture for us. When we create that picture we explore new parts of our mind, and use our senses to express our imagination through emotions, like crying or laughing.
