How does story telling remind us who we are?

Candy reminds us of Christmas because it's everywhere during that time. From candy canes to chocolate Santas, it's a visual and taste reminder of the festive season. Also, the act of passing out candy to kids and seeing their smiles connects to the happiness and generosity of Christmas.

Telling stories can make math more relatable and engaging. It helps us understand concepts by putting them in real-life or imaginative contexts.

Well, telling stories makes us human in several ways. First, it helps us express our inner selves and our unique perspectives. It also enables us to create a sense of community and belonging. And it gives us a means to make sense of the world around us.

In fiction, it could be the author using a first - person narrator. For example, in 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield is the narrator, so it's like he's directly telling us his story. This gives a very personal and subjective view of the events.

The narrator is often a key element. It can shape our perspective and understanding of the events. A reliable narrator gives us straightforward info, while an unreliable one keeps us guessing.

Well, 'telling the we story' could imply sharing a story that involves a collective 'we'. It might be about a group's experiences, values, or common journey.

A character within the story can be the storyteller. This character might be involved in the main plot or just an observer. For example, in some detective novels, the detective might be the one narrating, sharing their thoughts and discoveries as the story progresses.

Society or a community can stop us if the story goes against its values. If the story promotes something unethical or harmful like discrimination, the community may put pressure on us to stop.

For me, it brings to mind 'The Great Gatsby' because of the opulent settings and the pursuit of dreams and illusions.

You can be direct and say something like 'I'm a bit short on time right now, can we focus on something more important?'.
