Well I agree with the author that stories are all around us, and that everything has been written about and how authors must practice amnesia about what they have previously read so that they are able to write their own story. But what they read will always be in the mind even if they do not think about, so they are always taking ideas from another story whether they plan to or not.
I think the author means that all stories come from one another. I feel like not one story is exactly original because there are parts of past stories in new stories.
I think that the author is talking about what he talked about earlier in the book about how there is only one main story, and all other stories branch off of that main story. I agree with the basis of this. I think that a lot of stories have the same plot, and a lot of the time, the same outcome. We can all mention a book we've read and then think of another story almost exactly like it.
I agree with the author that there is truly only one story. All stories seem to relate to one another, and each have similar story lines to them. I agree with what Allie said when she said that every author's story is based on life, which if you really think about it, that's very true. There's no original story left, because bits and pieces of past books that you've read will somehow make their way into your story.
Simply like Allie said, every author writes about life in one way or another and I agree with this completely. So really everyone story is one story and that story is life.
The author means that there is truly only one story. Every time an author writes a story or a book, it has came from some other story. "Everyone who writes anything knows that pure originality is impossible", I totally agree with the author. Many times when I've been reading a book, I've noticed that it has a lot of information or the same plot as another book. It's like it just keeps going in a circle. To me it's annoying that nothing can be "original" anymore. Everything seems the same.
I agree with what the author is saying. There is only one stories. All the stories you read seem to have elements from other stories borrowed from them. Most stories have the same plot, but they differ in how the plot is actually carried out. For example, the basic love story : Boy meets girl he can't have, they fall in love and they have to go through some trial to be together, but in the end, they always end up together.
I agree with the author, I think he means that all stories in some way or another can be related to each other. Most stories come from the same basic outline with a certain kind of problem and a way to fix it. With almost every book or story there is another one out there somewhere that is almost the exact same just different characters.
I think the author means that all stories are based on one another. One of the most effective rhetoric techniques that an author can use is an allusion which is something that is based on something else (a historical or biblical reference most often).
I do somewhat agree when the author says there is only one story. Sure they can be completely different but all stories are based upon life and how different people act on it.
I think that the author says there is only one story because most stories are written about life. The stories always talk about how a different person lives the life that they live.
I agree with the author on this. Every story comes from within another story therefore, it is all the same. More times than not the story is based on life or life lessons.
All stories relate to some other story making it one giant story. Its kinda like the phases of life you are different in each stage but it makes only one life. If you think of books the are mostly based on human life/instinct; how we act in life.
I agree with the author about there being one story. I think he means every author uses ideas from other stories. Also pretty much everything has been written about, you just see it in different ways in different books, but its all about the same story if you think about it.
Every story has something from a general idea in it. For example, there are plenty of love stories out there, but they all have a different little twist on them. Most of them have a basic and general meaning behind them though. Life experiences are generally the same things, everyone deals with things but just in different degrees and ways.
I believe we covered this topic in one of the earlier chapters. I think it was 4 or 5, or something along those lines. The one story is life, and all authors write from it. Because authors write from the same story (life), they can draw inspiration from each other. I agree with the author.
I think that in this the author means what he says, there is only one story. There are many like it, different version, and things similar to what happened in it, but it is all the same story. You are never alone in what you go through and there is always someone who's had it worse.
I couldn't agree more with Allie. Books, stories? They're about life. Maybe one aspect more than another, but when they tell that story, that's the dominant aspect. Jane Austen's books are about love. At that point in her characters lives though, the main part of their life /is/ love. It's hard to focus on more than one thing and make it true. There are millions of stories. They're connected in that Stephen King way though. They matter to somebody, and that's why they're being told. They're all about self discovery to some degree. They all matter to somebody, or they wouldn't be being told. They're all about life. Maybe that's what the author means by "there is only one story." I'm just going out on the plank here though.
The author is referring to "life". "Life" is the only story in existence. I completely agree with author here. My support is found on the chapter 5 blog. I believe this and have always have thought this way. That is why i was able to discuss it that early in the book. I believe the support for this cause can be found there.

ReplyDeletewow i do not know mane. haha but i dont think all stories are the same. its pretty logical to think that way ha
