Storytelling
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. Storytelling, while appearing to be one of those words that has multiple meanings, is actually quite established in its implication. Even with myriad types of stories that can be told, it is the way in which they are told that follows certain standards set down by such notable writers as Walter Benjamin and C.S. Lewis; in short, it is the perception - rather than the application - that provides the distinction for how a story is told. Each man looked upon the art of storytelling from completely diverse points of view, yet they both own the rights to claim their respective positions are viable definitions because there is more than one way to tell a tale. No bibliography.
