Answer:
Explanation:
Reading fictional stories can influence us in just about every way. If a story has a moral to it than the reader may be influenced to react in a way that upholds that moral. With fiction, many different tales can be told that you may not be able to capture in nonfiction. A fictional story may have more opportunities to make you feel empathetic and compassionate towards the characters and the things they experience. In conclusion, I do think it is possible to feel more empathetic and compassionate through reading fiction depending on the reader's feelings and ideas.
