Story Telling

Story telling is a big part of history, no matter if it's American, European, or Asian. Word travels by stories and that's how we get a lot of our information. I do agree with the fact that story telling does take some skill, or at least to tell a good one. Everyone can make something up and turn it into a story but who would want to listen to it if it didn't have a good outline.
To tell a good story it takes emotion and a plot. Even if the main idea of the story is stupid, you can still make it a good one. But that just shows how complex it is to tell a real good story. But think about it, when you sit and listen to someone tell a real good story, you can't help but to enjoy it and admire the person telling it, thinking that you wish you would tell a story like that.
