Now this is a story...

Storytelling is something that has almost always been around and has always been something people do, whether they realize it or not. Stories are always a collection of information about a situation that traditionally has a set plot within it. There are stories however that are told in order to have someone else see your point of view. For instance, if you had a long strenuous day and you are explaining to someone else why it was so strenuous, you may have to use various amounts of detail in order to get them to see things in your perspective. One of the disadvantages is the fact that occasionally we may go off into too much detail and get sidetracked while attempting to get our point across. As stated in the reading there are always times when we all want to just say "get to the point already". But despite all these difficulties, if it wasn't for story telling and narratives, we wouldn't have any real history for us to learn about because there would be no records of anything, both verbal and physical. We need stories in life in order to proceed further with out advancement of knowledge and civilization.
