Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket -- Video

Storytelling -- Why It Matters -- English II

Telling stories is one of our favorite pastimes. Everyday we either tell a story, listen to one, or see one. As a society, we consume movies, music, books, graphic novels, and plays with a voracious appetite.

Storytelling is important to people because it is a way for us to connect to one another. By relating experiences, either made up or real, we are able to learn, explore and better understand the world we live in as well as our place in it.
