Subject headings for fiction, Exercise 7

Exercise 7

Assign subject headings to the following works of fiction:
(I have checked the answers and written comments relating to them in brackets)

a. A science fiction novel about time travel.
SH: Time travel - fiction; Science fiction
(Yay, I got these ones right!)

b. A fictional picture book about American Indians and cattle ranchers set in western USA in the 19th century.
SH: American Indians - Fiction; Cowhands - Fiction; Westerns; Western United States - History - 19th Century. (note: I thought 'cattle ranchers' was referring to cowboys, I think it should have been 'cattle ranches' as in the property, therefore an appropriate subject heading would be: Cattle stations - Fiction. Actually, upon checking the forum, it does say ranchers, but they are in charge of the cattle station, so are not cowhands, so cattle stations is still more appropriate apparently!).

c. A murder mystery written in French.
SH: Mystery and suspense stories; Murder - Fiction; French language text.
(Murder - Fiction was not in the answers list - I am not sure if this means it is inappropriate).

d. A wordless picture book about Christmas which was awarded the Kid’s Own Australian Literature Award.
SH: Christmas; wordless stories; KOALA (Literary prize)
(Whoops I forgot to include 'fiction', the first subject heading should read 'Christmas - Fiction')

e. A novel on the theme of bullying. There is a factual section on bullying at the end of the story.
SH: Bullying - Fiction; Bullying;
(YES! :) I wrote exactly the right subject headings for this one!)
