 Some
of the most vivid images of purpose come from works of fiction.
Characters who are driven against all odds to accomplish something
continue to inspire us with their words and deeds centuries
after their creation, and long after we have closed our books.
Other fictional figures eventually come to realize their own
purpose in the world after life-long searches. And many come
to find purpose in what they originally found to be a chaotic
universe.
Fiction can provide us with a unique perspective
on the souls of our fellow human beings and we may even learn
from fiction how others experience purpose. Sometimes the very
language of a story is enough to inspire us to search for purpose
in our own lives. A combination of moving prose, penetrating observations
about human nature, and an account of the power that purpose can
have on characters will make a successful fiction entry.
