Do you think reading fiction makes us more compassion and empathetic?

( i need more opinions please)

It depends on how you take the theme of what your're reading to heart.

Explanation:

yes in a way because when you read the stories you can imagine the main character as yourself causing your brain to believe it is true and you are experiencing all different kind of situations and how it is handled.

Explanation:

at the beginning of the story, elisa just has the small idea of wanting more attention, but as the story progressed, her desire for more attention grew larger. before she talked to the man with the wagon she was just focused on her chrysanthemums but when she talked to him and got some attention she enjoyed it, so she decided to get all dolled up for henry. but when they were on the way to dinner she was so upset because she saw the flowers on the side of the road and realized the man didn't take interest in her like she thought.
