As I was reading Frankie Lennon’s blog "The Book of Days III: Part II-and II Women Who Run with the Wolves", I thought about the value of stories. Stories are valuable to people when they relate to the stories as well as learning something new. A story is defined by dictionary.com as: a narrative, either true or fictitious, in prose or verse, designed to interest, amuse, or instruct the hearer or reader; tale. Stories can be told by anyone at anytime; it is just a matter of hoe the story gets passed down to generations.
When reading how Frankie Lennon felt about stories, I completely agreed with what she was saying. As a little girl she enjoyed stories that her parents would tell her and I feel that I can identify with that. Stories have a valuable meaning when you hear the same story being told by someone else because it shows how popular it is as well as to why they tell the stories. Lennon also expresses how stories have helped her find who she really was by writing the story of her life in a book.
I think it is important for people especially for women to read or write stories or narratives to help them find themselves. At the end of the day stories will always be told and they will tell informational ideas that will create wisdom, give hope and encourage us to keep going. After reading this blog I am considering of writing my own stories and making sure I tell the ones I know.
