    Strange Texture

    by
    Today’s Daily Create was to take a close up picture of something with an interesting texture or pattern. After scouring the house I chose this. I think the pattern looks great close up. Any guesses?

    Kurt Vonnegut and the shape of stories

    by
     Mulan For starters, I’ve seen the movie Mulan way too many times and not to dedicate this blog to her would just be wrong. She was a young lady who was supposed to be this perfect wife for a warrior one day. She even tried to doll it up and actually go through with the ...

    What is Storytelling?

    by
    Perhaps it is just the Classicist in me, but whenever I think of storytelling I think of Homer. The Illiad is and always will be the quintessential story. It is more than just a chronological retelling of events and dates. … Continue reading →

    What is storytelling

    by
    Storytelling is the passing of knowledge and/or imagination in the form of a narrative. It could be used to teach lessons and history and set examples, for example, Aesop’s fables. When I think of storytelling I imagine a world of impossibilities that provides a perception into another world. In a story, anything can change, whether it’s the characters or the environment. A good storytelling is like a big “what if,” and anything can be considered. Movies play onto this interest, and provide to the people a kind of escape from reality.
