I would say all of the above. It would depend on the situation.

But stories where people overcome long odds may be the best. It's the G.K. Chesterson quote: Fairy tales don't teach children that dragons are real. They know they're real. They teach children that dragons can be defeated.

Then there's C.S. Lewis who's Til We Have Faces is a master work: He has a first person narrator who never breaks character or knows what she shouldn't. But through the entire thing, the reader knows she's wrong.

C.J. Cherryh is kind of a master at this. If the characters don't know something, the reader doesn't either. Then late in the book you find out this big thing happened somewhere else that's driving a lot of stuff that didn't seem to make sense.

Yeah, Canada will get help from most of Europe. The likely outcome is WWIII.
