Because the creators of fiction shape and focus reality rather than report on it literally, their creations have a more lasting significance." Do imaginative works hold more lasting significance than factual accounts, for the reasons the speaker cites? To some extent the speaker overstates fiction’s comparative significance. 这篇文章是大部分肯定原题的观点，但也指出了不能过分夸大文学性作品的作用。 On balance, however, I tend to agree with the speaker.

And, only imaginative works can provide meaning to historical events--through the use of devices such as symbolism and metaphor. 这一段是先承认factual accounts的必要性，但在最好一句来个迂回战略，重申imaginative works对史记的独特作用，而这一点是前者所无法替代的。紧接着下一段就是惯常地举例说明了。 Several examples from literature serve to illustrate this point. Twain’s novels afford us a sense of how 19th-Century Missouri would have appeared through the eyes of 10-year old boys.
