What is a story?

It’s an event someone experienced and wants to pass it down for others to know about, so that that memory isn’t forgotten or lost. An event someone may have enjoy, disliked, smiled during, or even cried. But no matter what that event was that wanted to share it and pass it down. A story could also be a thought. Something someone thought of whether it be fiction or nonfiction. Stories don’t have to be told with words. People get their stories out by dancing, singing, or just actions. They can be new stories or even century year old stories. Stories are something that people can join in on even if they are just reading it, it still allows them to escape into a world that currently aren’t living in, and sometimes that’s all people want to do. Escape from life.

    I like your inclusion of dance and music. You are focused more on “story” as an entertaining venture (I think). How does this translate to news “stories,” which may not be entertaining? What if the intent is to pull the listener in rather than allowing them to escape?
