The Lost Art of Story Telling.

[ThomasJ]

I remember some of the dead generations telling storues around fires before and as i sat in front of a fire tonight i wondered , "could my generation tell stories like these ppl did?". I dont think so. Its a shame that generations die out and with them go the older arts like storytelling that they relied on to pass many a winters night by the fire.

Sincerely,

You could also have called your post "the lost art of conversation" - first step is get rid of the telly. All so easy just to come home from work and park yourself in front of it for the night. Found myself falling into that trap so I decided to go out more - now I get to talk to people rather than just my cats -

Story telling is alive and well!

The telling of fantastic tales from the depths of imagination has never been stronger!!

For proof of this....

Just to be a bigger geek (which I'm proud of! ) here is another one of my favourite narratologists, Vladimir Propp, for those who enjoy a little light reading:
