Trigger words: grow (3) growing
Indicator sentences: what is growth? What is the growth and improvement you're talking about that doesn't include fiction? How is a person better after they've grown?
Negotiation parts: I'm asking because many people feel that art is a means of personal growth. It helps them think creatively, and it introduces concepts that affect the way they live their lives. For example, after reading a tragedy about a parent who loses a child to a freak accident, the person might reconsider how they have been living and decide to spend more time with their family. But, you object: couldn't a newspaper article about a real life situation where this happens have the same effect? If you compare a newspaper article and a short fiction story, you will find them wildly different. A good article tries to be concise and factually accurate. It avoids emotional bias. A short story, however, is carefully written to elicit a particular scene in the brain. It uses small details, carefully chosen "facts" with associations that connect to our real world experiences. A newspaper article would describe the way the child died: electrocution. A story would describe how the child died holding a toy that their mother bought them on a business trip. It will describe the appearance of the child's electrocuted body, and the facial expression of the mother when they get the telephone call saying what happened to their child. It would be wrong to write those details in a newspaper article. That doesn't mean that they aren't true, though. In fiction, you do not have the constraints of particular historical circumstances and the privacy of real people: you can write true things by making them up. Emotional resonance is perfected by a disregard for "facts". These facts still can have a lasting effect on people's lives, often for the better.
