I also agree with your statement that she has a set of the plan when it comes to using specific language with specific people.

Women have more restrictions that don't applies to men.

She also mentioned a saying that she used to hear as a child “Flies don’t enter a closed mouth” which taught her not to speak back, gossip, and lie. Also, she mentioned that these sorts of statements were applied to women only.

People's identity changes due to the new things they learn, from their past experiences, from aging, etc. People start looking at things differently as they gain a new skill, younger versions of ourselves used to think differently than the older versions of ourselves, and past experiences, good or bad, develops identity changes in people.

Storytelling and narrative are present in every age, and it is a part of human experience. Stories share information and the author's personal experiences through which people can connect and take help from them in similar situations.

I agree with your statement that not every story has a high relevance, and narrative plays a vital role in portraying the author's perspective and message.

By telling stories, we share our experiences and information with others. The importance of narrative plays a significant role in storytelling; it helps to connect and pass on the word to others. Good narration engages the audience, and they connect with the story, and it also helps to convey the author's message. Tue, 08 Sep 2020 00:54:51 -0400
