Sample Answer

I have a profound appreciation for both fiction and non-fiction, but I find that literary fiction appeals to me most. The reason for this preference lies in the intricate character development and the profound exploration of human emotions that such works often entail. For instance, novels that delve into the complexities of human relationships or societal dilemmas not only provide entertainment but also provoke critical thought and reflection. Additionally, non-fiction, particularly in the realms of psychology and philosophy, captivates me as it offers insights into the human condition and encourages intellectual engagement. Ultimately, I believe that reading across these genres enables a more well-rounded perspective of the world, offering the dual benefits of escapism and enlightenment.
