Model de resposta (139 paraules):
Reading fiction from other cultures can, in my view, make us more tolerant, although it does not guarantee it.
Firstly, novels allow us to see the world through the eyes of someone very different from us. When we follow a refugee, a teenager in another country or an elderly woman in a distant village, we understand their fears and hopes from the inside, which is something that news reports rarely achieve.
Secondly, literature challenges stereotypes. A character who does not fit our expectations reminds us that people cannot be reduced to their nationality or religion.
Admittedly, a person can read widely and remain prejudiced if they read only to confirm what they already think. Tolerance also depends on our willingness to listen.
In conclusion, fiction is a powerful tool for empathy, provided that we read with an open mind.
