1.
Imaginative
works
such
as
novels
，
plays
，
films
，
fairytales
，
and legends present a more accurate and
meaningful
picture
of
human
experience
than
do
factual
accounts. Because the
creators of fiction shape and focus on
reality
rather
than
report
it
literally1
，
their
creations
have
a more
lasting2 significance.
2. The arts
（
painting
，
music
，
literature
，
etc.
）
reveal the
otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society.
3.
‘
It is the artist
，
not the critic
，’
who gives
society something of lasting value. A
person who evaluates
works
of
art
，
such
as
novels
，
films
music
，
paintings
，
etc.
4. As
long as people in a society are hungry or out of
work or lack the basic skills needed to
survive
，
the use of
public resources to support the arts is
inappropriate-and
，
perhaps
，
even
cruel-when
one
considers
all
the
potential
uses
of such money.
5.
In
order
for
any
work
of
art-whether
film
，
literature
，
sculpture
，
or
a
song- to
have
merit
，
it
must
be
understandable to
most people.
