Storytelling has become a big part of society now. Catherine Ramsdell defines what storytelling is about and the effects that it has brought when we are moving forward. It has transitioned from just what we used to know of characters and actions to describe through details. As Ramsdell begins explaining the different definition she relates back to how it’s more than just describing what happened but focus on what led onto it. She gives the example of the “Who I am” story where they create an image of the different types of descriptions that there could be by detailing the experiences that create a whole picture on your head. A story becomes a narrative of what happened in order to let the audience create a picture and understand what is happening and create conclusions. We all get different conclusions of what the story was trying to describe. In the same way, Ramsdell’s example of the new computer by apple shows how society focus on presenting their perspective to capture a larger audience and create connections with them. In which I could relate to when I am part of a community that we have a nonprofit organization that has to send reports to funders about the impact we have created by telling the story of positive changes people have began to experience with the resources we have. Storytelling is a big component now to help describe through details what we experience and help people create an image of it.
