worldview HW

If we realize it or not, it is true that world views are all throughout l;iterature. A discerning reader should try to identify the worldview from which the story is being told. In literature, we can more easily identify the story's world view if we look for a few key topics revealed through the reading. One factor, may be portrayed through an explanation of the human condition. Another may be the determination of right or wrong. Also, another distinctive aspect is the knowledge of what one believes and the reason for their belief. These identifying factors of world views in literature are often hard to discern, but when one of these factors is mentioned in a story, one can sometimes infer the perspective or world view within the piece of literature.
