What reasons for which do we write great stories? To entertain, is one. Shakespeare’s works, for example, were almost all written for entertainment - to be performed for an audience. As over four centuries later these works are still being analyzed and produced, it is obvious the purpose was achieved. A second reason is impact. Some stories are written to change lives, to engender a change in view. Another purpose may be to teach, such as The Boy In the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne. That novel was written to give an insight to the…

And this leads them to a healthy, emotional state of mind. In an article, Rainer Helin explains this power of stories, “The reason why stories have been told since the beginning of time is because they… help us escape our reality and enjoy ourselves”(Helin) Helin here explains one of the most important things about stories and storytelling. It allows us to escape everything bad around us that we don't want to deal with. And especially for soldiers, as seen in The Things They Carried, it is an important tool that helps them cope with war and death, by being able to go to a place where none of it exists.

“In this book, I explore why: Where did all this storytelling come from? Why are we suddenly so eager to spread the storytelling gospel? And who blazed the trail for an Age of Storytelling in mainstream communication?”(5). This is an excerpt quote from Storytelling on Steroids by John Weich which I thought is the core of what this book explores and intends to do. Through this review I plan to include anything that caught my attention. Most of these were things I knew unconsciously but never took the time to further develop these thoughts. First, John addresses that although this may seem like a new ideal , it is not. It is something that has been happening over the centuries. What we are seeking though is to know why it’s so important in this day and age, and how it expanded so much that anybody can write “storyteller” on a profile. He explains that this is because storytelling is something that is instilled within us ,…

"Narratives" or stories have been used throughout the history of the human race to allow and help people to express themselves in ways that promote personal growth and enhance physical well-being. Even in the simplest of contexts, narratives are a core factor in the advancement of the humanity/society and all of its facets. An illustration of this can be seen in the transfer of a family 's lineage, history, and values from generation to generation. This allows for the recipient of this information to have a greater knowledge of his/her own family and the history surrounding it. Oral narratives and writings, such as journals, stories, or speeches to others are stress-relieving mechanisms that can reduce the external stress. The narrating of one 's thoughts definitely does not initially affect the external stressors one is facing. Narrating does, however, allow one to share these feelings with others and to organize one 's thoughts around these issues. More significantly, narrative opportunities such as these, work to encourage and advance constructive contexts in which individuals such as a mother and daughter or father and son can openly communicate any differences, worries, or problems one might be having with daily living. A more important and serious issue interlaced with narratives is the "personal issue of telling stories about illness…" (Frank, ch.1 pg.2) Narratives are the beginning to the process of healing.…
