Question

Consider the following theme: “Writing is an outlet for the human desire to make things sound better than they actually are.” Is this theme universal? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

The theme is universal - we all want to make things sound better than they are. That's why when someone asks you "Does this dress make me look fat?" you always say no, even if it does. We want the world to sound better because if we really focused on how bad the world is then no one would want to live in it. But not all writing does make things sound better than they actually are. Some writing is really depressing and makes things sound as bad or worse than they are.
