How do stories shape who we are, and how do our own identities shape our reading choices?

English
1 answer:
GaryK [48]2 years ago

Stories shape who we are because:

  • They open our eyes to see the world and evaluate how we fit into the scheme of things. Stories help us to analyze our circumstances and in doing so, we can understand ourselves.

Our own identities shape our reading choices because:

  • Businessmen will want to read articles related to business while people who are interested in politics will read political articles. Leisure lovers will enjoy entertaining stories.

<h3>What are stories?</h3>

Stories are narratives about events that could be fictional or not. The person whom we are or aspire to be is a motivating factor that will push us to read books and articles in some niches.

So stories shape us by helping us to see the world beyond our own limited views. Naturally, a person will be drawn to events that complement his own life. If there is no common ground, then, there is no attraction.  This is why people who have a formal disposition will reach out to texts that reflect their nature.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

✅ characterizes opposing viewpoints in a negative light  ➡ "foolish optimist"

✅emphasizes the sadness and seriousness of the situation  ➡ "grim problem of existence

✅encourages optimism and hope  ➡ "not an unsolvable problem"

Explanation:

I have been able to match each excerpt from the passage with the statement that best describes its effect.

A "foolish optimist" actually characterizes opposing viewpoints in a negative light. He tends to be optimistic even in overwhelming negativity.

The "grim problem of existence" tells about how serious and disheartening the situation or condition is.

Their "not an unsolvable problem" denotes that there is hope and one is very optimistic for a solution.
