Answer and explanation:
The two writers' ideas differ regarding the effects that teaching the story through fiction can generate.
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
- The writer of "The Value of Teaching History Through Fiction," claims that the effect of fiction on teaching history is very beneficial.
- He claims that this draws students' attention, promotes greater interest and understanding of the story, and greater memorization of historical events.
- This argument is not accepted by the writer of "the dangers of fictionalizing history," who argues that fiction causes negative effects on students in relation to the teaching of history.
- He claims that fiction romanticizes historical moments, relativizes their importance, and adapts events, modifying them so that they fit better into the narrative.
- In this case, he claims that fiction does not teach history correctly.
In this case, we can say that the relationship between history and fiction is something that must be debated and evaluated, to be used or discarded.
