As you read these essays, think about why storytelling is important and
what purpose it serves in our lives and in our communities. Is it
universal? Write a 1 – 2 page essay describing the
importance of story in your own life. Think about the many venues and
ways in which you have encountered or been influenced by story. Does
what you “know” intuitively, through interaction with story, conflict
with the laws of nature or science?
