In life we're all telling stories. we all have our own inter-narrative going on through out our days, we tell our new friends stories about who we are or old friends stories that bond us together. The tradition and history of story telling is rich and constantly flowing through our daily lives...i just realized that...so i put it here...

White Castle
From the second white castle reading i realized the importance of story telling in this novel, be it that the narrator is telling us a story, the author has translated the story he found in the chest into modern language and then telling it to us or that Hoja and the narrator tell each other stories (there are many other instances in the novel as well).

This is so true--about storytelling. And you are much wiser than I was at your age to understand this! Sometimes I think our stories are all we really have, and then other times I think the stories I tell myself can get in the way of living. Sometimes I have to change a story (like about being a victim) and reframe it into a story about surviving, for instance. It doesn't seem like a big difference, but it changes everything. So I remain obssessed with the power of storytelling.
