Answer:
The difference between you telling your story is that first of all it is in first person perspective. If someone else tells it, they will say it in third person perspective. Another difference is that if you tell your own story, then you can share your feelings on it. If someone else tells your story, they will not be able to communicate your feelings. Additionally, if you tell your own story, then you can easily be able to write your story. On the other hand, if someone else writes/tells your story, they will not be able to include all the details.

The correct answer for the first question: The lama is looking for "The River of the Arrow" because would be option 1. "He thinks he will be purified spiritually when he finds it". This is showed in the excerpt when the lama says "By it one attains freedom from the Wheel of things", meaning he wants to be free of his sins and thinks the river is going to help him achieve it. He does not give a reference as to god being the reason he wants to find the river therefore options 2,3 and 4 are incorrect.
The correct answer for the second question: The excerpt shows that would be option 3. "Kim is eager to show the lama he does not know where the river is located". This is shown in the excerpt when he repeatedly says that he does not know the location, for example " If I knew, think you I would not cry it aloud?". Option 1, 2 and 4 are incorrect because Kim does not appear under the lama's spell, he does listen to him, and has not expressed an interest in the river's powers.
I interpreted it as what one sees in mainstream media affects their perspective of the world since as they begin to consume more of it by watching television or movies they unconsciously identify what they see as the societal norm. So for example, people constantly make jokes about how high school is nothing like the movies. The mass majority only expected the movies to hold truth however because in myriads of young adult movies they would see teenagers go to parties, have sex, sneak out the house, and other things a like which normalized those actions. So essentially when someone views media that portrays consistent stereotypes of a particular group, some may tend to associate it with real life.
