reread paragraph 17. why do you think brock says that the people in the ancient fictions were “more actual than dome dwellers”?
i think brock says this because ________

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to analyze the context of "ancient fictions" and "dome dwellers" (likely from a text like Futurescapes). Ancient fictional characters often had relatable human struggles, emotions, and tangible experiences (e.g., interacting with nature, facing real - world - like conflicts). Dome dwellers (in sci - fi settings) might live in artificial, isolated environments, lacking the depth of human connection or authentic experiences that ancient fictional characters conveyed. So Brock likely means ancient fictional people felt more real because their lives, conflicts, and humanity were more relatable, while dome dwellers’ existence was sterile or less connected to universal human experiences.
