Sample answer

Interviewer: Can you describe how you think literature can influence society? What role does it play in shaping cultural attitudes and beliefs?

Student: Literature has the power to shape cultural attitudes and beliefs by exploring and exposing societal issues through characters and stories. Books such as «Crime and Punishment» by Fyodor Dostoevsky can challenge readers to reflect deeply on their own morality and values, thereby changing how they view themselves and the world around them.

Interviewer: What types of books do you think have had a significant impact on society or culture? Why do you think these works are important?

Student: I believe that books that address social justice issues such as racism, sexism, and inequality have had a significant impact on society. Examples include «To Kill a Mockingbird» by Harper Lee, «The Color Purple» by Alice Walker, and «Crime and Punishment» by Fyodor Dostoevsky. These books are important because they bring attention to important issues and inspire readers to take action for positive change.

Interviewer: Do you think that literature has the power to change the world? Why or why not?

Student: Yes, I strongly believe that literature can change the world. By reflecting on important societal issues and presenting different perspectives, literature has the potential to inspire people to take action and make positive changes in society. Books can provide hope, educate, and help people empathize with others who may be different from themselves.

Interviewer: Have you ever read a book that challenged your worldview or made you see things from a different perspective? If so, can you describe your experience?

Student: Yes, «Crime and Punishment» by Fyodor Dostoevsky challenged my worldview and made me see things from a different perspective. The book explores the theme of morality and guilt through the character Raskolnikov, who commits a murder and is tormented by his conscience. Reading this novel made me reflect on my own values and beliefs about right and wrong.

Interviewer: What advice would you give to someone who wants to become a more informed and engaged reader in terms of societal issues?

Student: My advice would be to read widely and diversely, including books that address important societal issues. It’s also important to engage in meaningful discussions with others, both online and in person, to gain different perspectives and deepen one’s understanding of these issues. Lastly, taking action to support causes related to these issues is crucial in creating positive change in society.
