This week I learned a lot about what other people and myself think about story telling. Storytelling is something that comes up in I’m everyday life whether it is on purpose or just by accident. Telling stories happens everyday in almost every subject in school for example the obvious one English. But also you can tell stories to your friends and see if they believe you or not. That is what I do but don’t tell anyone I told you..shh it’s a secret.

Watching the Kurt Vonnegut’s Shape of Stories video it made a lot of sense to me of what and how stories are written because a lot of them do have the same types of ending like when they girl gets the boy or when the boy gets out of trouble stuff like that.

When I looked at previous work from other students I was amazed. Because here I thought that digital storytelling is one thing but they have showed me that NO it is more than just telling a story it is about letting other people tell the story for you.

My daily creates are interesting I did the Write a story that uses all of the ingredients listed in your favorite canned or boxed foods I did mine on peanut butter  I think I did that very well I also did My biggest fear is… and since I just got my belly pierced I thought that was a great thing to do it on. I also did a Daily create of my new invention cause I am super lazy.

I told my story with other people picture from flicker. I thought this was a better idea than picking something that I actually chose. I think that picking some random pictures but not too many add more of a surprise a affect to what I want as my story, it keeps me on my toes:p

I saw alot of interseting things with other peoples blogs for example they layouts were so meaningful I think I get a feel of how they are just by looking at there layouts. I like to read other people’s take on storytelling it makes me think that other people have other ideas of what storytelling is. I actually think that their stories are about more then just telling a story for entertainment or a story about real life, telling a story about how you feel at that moment. A lot of people commented on my blogs and I learned alot from them like when I write it is good that I write how I talk I thought that was a bad thing but I guess it is not. Good because that is really hard to change in me.

This week in general was hectic just because I had so many other things going on besides school and work. Stress is hard to deal with. This class is getting a little bit easier in a way just because I am understanding what I am supposed to do. I am still thinking of what I want my title to be.
