A story is something that portrays specific events or experiences. There are a variety of different types of stories that can be told. Some may be fiction, or some may be based on real events. Every good story is consisted of characters and a well thought out plot. Following that, building the suspense will keep the reader engaged, so structuring your story well is important. Keeping a well structured story also applies to real events that have happened. It is important to remember to be telling a story and not just facts if it is a current or historic event.

I think stories are very beneficial to us, because although one of the main points of a story is to entertain and inform a specific audience, stories go much beyond just entertainment. We need stories for educational purposes, such as exposure to different cultures and traditions they share. It also boosts your cognitive thinking skills, and develop critical thinking skills while expanding your knowledge and vocabulary. Aside from the educational perks stories bring us, they also allow us to be inspired and to show off creativity. Every story has a message within it and those messages can be motivating to others to make a change or set a goal for themselves. Stories allow us to connect with one another and other experiences. I also believe stories can provide a sense of comfort to people. You typically read things you relate to, which can be beneficial to people.
