is one way
for us to hear the voices of the past and work with the present. It is a way for the present to
connect to the possible future. Story telling is one way for humans to reach out to other
humans. It is therapy, confession, entertainment, and knowledge all in one. Why do we study
it?
We learn about history we didn't experience, customs we are not familiar
with or that lead to what we do and perform now, hear voices of men, women, children, dragons,
elves, slaves, aliens, and other characters in order to spark imagination.
We learn to think outside the literal box by reading. It forces your mind to picture
places and experiences and activates our gestault thinking, which is crucial next to just
spitting back information.
We can also relate to a character, real or
fictional, that may have or is going through an experience like us. Or who is going through an
experience that we would like to have. Or through an experience we would like to
avoid.
