Question

Reading fiction and poetry can increase your understanding of people.

Answer 1

True and not true. With me I write fiction(even if no one knows about it) stories about cats talking to each other and fighting dogs.
From what i just typed, you can tell I like cats.

Poetry, if you didn't know, is used basically for that person you or someone loves most.

Answer 2

True. People and characters are major parts of fiction and poetry.
