I read the science of storytelling article that was in our resources and I found it very interesting of the concepts that were presented. Reading over everything and the science behind the art of storytelling what is interesting to me because in everyday conversation we are just telling stories. It did say that 65% of our communication is gossip and storytelling. If you look at gossip itself, you are sharing your story about a feeling or information that you heard. It also to keep roach that if you listen to a presentation and and you look at bullet points, it activates a certain part of your brain that we would call the boring area. Once you start telling the story presentation you activate sensory modes that will make you remember the presentation more than just a bullet point presentation. I can relate to this style of presenting because I would find a story told presentation more interesting and the other one. I would also remember the way as story was told any information inside this story, instead of facts just given to me. 

Story telling has been around for many centuries and it will not go anywhere fast. i think that people tell stories to get away from the harsh realities of life. Take for example books or movies. How much is spent on entertainment each year because people want to escape the reality that can be boring just like a bullet point presentation. Individuals will find an escape that is filled with joy, laughter, despair, grief. tragedy, complication, and many more emotions to keep the brain juices flowing. The creativity aspect of your brain is where storytelling comes form and the imagination of a person shines through story telling. As I said before even gossip is a form of story telling. I am sure any one can think of a friend or relative that likes to exaggerate some details of information that they have received to enhance the story.
