Romance must become more mysterious and complex throughout
Whenever group presentations end, we will start Z-A the performance of final papers.
Whole purpose of storytelling is to take across boundary lines
Not merely telling stories--educating.
In Sexson's story, the woman used storytelling powers to affect something more utilitarianism and practical: "help my sister"
The answer: you cannot answer the question.
Myth--when something is decided it cannot be taken back.
You become so involved in parrot's story you forget the frame
They entertain and instruct--it prevents you from living in that otherworld all the time where horrible things happen
Stories pass the time--become involved in the story
The saving powers of fiction
The Mechanism--how the thing itself works, how the story works
Naive receivers of the story, to be entertained--moved to the next level by looking at how the story works and are moved to another level of appreciation
Will suspension of disbelief
Once seduced, we forget the machinations and this world for the more colorful, the sacred, and dream time outside of time.
"I only wanted to please"---the storyteller.
