"If a story is not about the hearer he will not listen. And here i make a rule - a great and interesting story is about everyone or it will not last."
-John Steinbeck
In this quote I believe Mr. Steinbeck is stating that people are selfish. The quote is saying that if the story that a person is reading is not about them then they will not have interest. Without having interest people will eventually think its boring and not wanna read it. Sometimes being selfish is not always bad. Sometimes mean u have great self confidence and want more for yourself. John stated that "...a great and interesting story is about everyone or it will not last to me that means that when people can relate to something in a story it will keep them wanting to read and keep them infatuated with it. With out people keeping something in demand or popular it will eventually fade away and people will forget about it. This quote can have many diffrent meanings to it you just have to think to yourself what it means to you!
