Fiction creates knowledge by using stories to explain and bring light to real life situations. It takes one to a fictional place and allows them to analyze the world from a third party point of view. Fiction can also help one acquire and absorb information by connecting a story to the real world, in the way people used stories to study the stars. The reading states, “Tell a story, so that we understand why and how this world was created, who our ancestors were and where they came from, so we understand where we are and where we may be going.” This meaning that through stories one can gain knowledge of the past, present, and future. Through stories, one can receive a better understanding of life in the past and get an idea of the things their ancestors encounter. The latter can create a knowledge in history and help one to have a greater understanding of the world, as it is today, to inspire tomorrow. People use fiction to explain things they don’t understand, which creates thought and inspires the expansion of one’s mind. Fictional stories are a way to “enlighten human minds in dark time full of mystery”, as stated in the reading, by having one lose themselves in a story and/or gain inspiration from the events within it. We tell stories to teach by connecting the fake world to the problems of the real world. Through fiction, one can learn life lessons and create knowledge. Fiction plays an important part in how we intake information and adapts to society to give this information the best way possible.
