Catherine Ramsdell’s essay was eye-opening to the world of storytelling and those who know how to use it. Introducing many debates over what elements truly make a story good served more of a purpose to highlight the elements that are looked at in writing a story and which ones actually draw our attention the best. She told us through her writing that your own personal story doesn’t need to follow the normal passage of time or even actually describe your physical characteristics at all. After reading this essay it makes sense that the purpose of your story shouldn’t describe yourself in that way, but rather to explore your inner and more hidden self as that is the part that someone would have to read if they were actually interested in you, not the stuff on the outside that anyone could easily see.
