What do I think of this project?
I know this was written a couple weeks after I had turned in my WRP and PLJ project. But I wanted to still reflect on my experience with this paper. I figured that once I had finished this project, I would immediately say that it was such a long report, and it was annoying. But after it was over, and I had time to think about it, I opened up my mind to what this paper was all about.

Reactions to Chapter Five, Story
In his book, A Whole New Mind, Daniel Pink says that story is how humans relate to each other. Story is also a wonderful way to remember things. Have you ever used a story to remember the order of the planets, the order of the metric system, or trig functions? Isn't it easier to remember that story than to memorize the order? Personally I would prefer the first choice. Story is the basis of our society and the connector throughout history! Think about it, how has the story of our nation been passed on down throughout the ages? Through Story! How did your parents get you to go to sleep when you were young? They read you a story right? See the trend?

Drawing this picture was a fun challenge for me. First I had to try to figure out how to even draw myself with just five lines. With a limit of so few lines, your brain is expanded to think about what you can accomplish instead of how to accomplish it.

Gossip is how people relate. I like so many others have been pulled into gossip throughout my years, which in essence is a form of story. Story like gossip can be heartfelt or hurtful. Our society is built on story. I know so many people who at night go and turn on the news to see the update on the war, the crime, and the ratings of the new movies and malls. This is story. Story gives people something to talk about, and something to entertain themselves with. Now what would the world be like if we did not have story? Mr. Pink has truly made me ponder this question, and his thoughts have shed some new light on the subject. What do you think?
