This week's questions:
How do fictional stories help us explore ethical dilemmas about the future?
Do fictional characters have their own âlivesâ once created, or do they only exist in the mind of the reader or writer?
Can absence of information create a more powerful narrative?
As humans, we gravitate towards stories with conflict. It almost seems that every story we tell, has conflict. Could a story without conflict still be compelling?
How do stories help us process emotions and experiences that we struggle to express directly in real life?
What makes a story universal, meaning able to resonate across different cultures, languages, and time periods?
