Stories

<aside> 💡 What is a story?

</aside>

My response: A cohesive set of events and experiences that lead to a specific destination in some capacity

Sturm: Recounts a series of events

• More than narrative—has structure, a plot
• Plot has a beginner, middle, and end
• Has a listener

<aside> 💡 Why do we tell stories?

</aside>

My response: To influence others

Sturm:

• Entertainment

• Preserve knowledge and history

• Pass on social values

• Explain and keep track of complex ideas

• Shape listener's emotions or perspective

• Justify/challenge status-quo

• Stories do not equal fiction
