" Telling stories" and "Stories on film" bonus(kyle)

Before I read this I never took the time to think of how memories are like short narrative. The idea that were constantly constructing stories never crossed my mind. I had never looked at a memory in this way. When you're able to visualize something such as a reading it help a lot in deciding whether you understand it or not. I agree with how they talked about selecting events is important in creating a build up into the story. When you tell a memory to a friend you select the best parts or the most important events that happened.

In the second reading "stories on film" it was harder for me to understand at first. After reading the beginning i began to see the importance that appearance plays on how someone judges something or makes an opinion. Like they mentioned in the passage the good things in the story were geometric shapes and the bad things were strange shapes and very twisted. This allows for the reader to distinguish between good and bad right from the beginning of the story. This also ties into what Eddie Izzard said which was 70% what you look like. Many of the ways you take the movie Wizard Of Oz is based off of appearance.
