    The effectiveness of it really varies from one person to the next.

    I’m the kind of person who finds it easier to understand a concept by relating it to fictional works

    On the other hand, there are also people who simply refuse to understand that fiction can be reflective of reality. Not saying you’re like that, I’m just saying some people are

    And then there are people in between who understand that fiction reflects reality but still prefer real life examples to understand things

      fair thoughts. thanks for the reply! i would rather learn from examples when it comes to actual stuff like this. history is great! fiction is too! i guess i’m just a documentary nerd. lol
