Sample answer

Interviewer: Can you describe why you think it’s important for books to have diverse characters and representation? How can this help readers relate to different perspectives?

Student: I believe that it’s important for books to have diverse characters and representation because it allows readers to see themselves or people like them in literature. Additionally, exposure to diverse characters and perspectives can broaden readers’ knowledge and empathy towards others, ultimately leading to a more accepting and inclusive society.

Interviewer: What types of books do you think do a good job of representing diverse voices? Why do you find these works impactful?

Student: I think that books written by authors from diverse backgrounds and experiences tend to do a good job of representing diverse voices. These works are often impactful because they provide representation for marginalized groups and expose readers to stories and perspectives that may not have been heard before.

Interviewer: Do you think that reading books with diverse characters or perspectives can help reduce stereotypes and prejudice? How so?

Student: Yes, I definitely think that reading books with diverse characters or perspectives can help reduce stereotypes and prejudice. When we read about people from different backgrounds and cultures, it humanizes them and breaks down preconceived notions we may have had before. This can help us see people as individuals rather than just members of a group, and ultimately lead to greater empathy and understanding.

Interviewer: Have you ever read a book that opened your eyes to a different culture or way of life? If so, can you describe your experience?

Student: Yes, I have read a book called «Quiet Flows the Don» by Mikhail Sholokhov, which explores the lives and struggles of Cossacks during the early 20th century. This book exposed me to a way of life and culture that I was not familiar with before, and helped me better understand the history and traditions of the Cossack people.

Interviewer: What advice would you give to authors who want to write more diverse stories? How can they approach this topic authentically and respectfully?

Student: My advice to authors who want to write more diverse stories is to do their research and consult with people from the communities they are writing about. It’s important to approach this topic authentically and respectfully by avoiding stereotypes and tropes and instead focusing on creating complex and nuanced characters. Additionally, it’s crucial to recognize that representation is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and different groups may have different needs and perspectives when it comes to representation.
