Chapter 10: Other Kinds of Stories

This Chapter is probably one of the most interesting chapters in this book. To learn about how other cultures tell stories is fascinating. I don't have very much to say about this chapter except that this is something that I would like to do one day. To make a story, movie or show along the lines with no Hero, no western plot seems awesome. To find out that most of all the stories that we have been watching all focus around the same plot makes me feel, insignificant. This makes me feel like i have been sheltered from how the rest of the world thinks about stories. How some stories last for days, weeks or that some stories have yet to finish is just a thought that i can't fully grasp. I would love to see a film or read a book that has a non-western story line. there were a few examples in this chapter that I will further investigate and see how I like them. In a classroom setting I would like to show students how other cultures portray stories and how they can be different then ours, and that isn't a bad thing and we have to listen and watch with respect.
