Insights from researching contemporary story-telling
To the outside world, writing gives one unlimited freedom whereby an author can write about any topic he or she chooses. However, in the modern world, story-telling is impacted by many factors, including technology, culture, globalization, environment, and emerging issues like feminism and climate change. More importantly, the authors understand that it is critical to get the reader’s attention through experiencing an author’s world and making sense. Because of these contemporary writers, the current literature might foster the insight of young persons into human nature and society in general. Some books have had an incredible impact on communities and nations, but it is not easy to determine how much a society is impacted by literature and writers. The extent of their effect is dependent on the society or the period in which the author lived.
For instance, the story-telling of Giribala by Mahasweta Devi has enabled the world to understand the plight of Indian girls and how social and political issues have had an impact on women in India. For Amy Tan, her work Two Kinds gives an insight into how complicated the relationship is between a mother and daughter, and the sufferings immigrants go through as they try to get a better life. The impact of a book does not depend on how much they have circulated but rather their undeniable influence over people. Moreover, despite the current widespread usage of online applications and social networks, books and literature have not faded away. Books still define beliefs, manners, and moralities. Books are still passed from one generation to another, and the previous ones inspire even contemporary writers. Finally, one crucial thing that contemporary writers need to understand is that books need to invoke emotions in their audience for them to have an impact.
