Story Telling

Story telling has and will remain to be an extremely important aspect in our society. Seriously, consider what we call entertainment- its just story telling isn't it? Movies, commercials, books, they all involve a plot that is supposed engage us. This reading gave me helpful insight to allow me to better understand certain aspects of what makes a good story.

Sometimes when I write I almost forget that it should have a point to it. That seems to be the biggest part of writing something worth reading. I find myself frequently getting off topic because I'm so concerned with the detail of my main point, that I forget to include one. History provides us with great stories, which are usually nothing short of what I consider an epic. Whether its the history or the revolutionary war, or how Mozart came to be- they are all stories told to us in a specific way to show us importance and relativity. Story telling teaches to tell stories, as well as listen to them.
