Question
Do you like stories from the past? What type of stories do you like?
Solution
Yes, historical narratives motivate me. Their insights into various historical periods, cultural practices, and human experiences expand my worldview. Historical stories, real or imagined, excite me because they show how people lived, thought, and overcame obstacles. In addition, I'm attracted by mythical stories and legends because they combine the extraordinary with established cultural values and beliefs. These tales entertain and provide light on the values and beliefs of the era they represent.
