Characteristics of a well-told story

1. why?: Stories are so important to childhood mostly because they give the child something to think about and something that can keep them occupied. It also helps them explore their thoughts of the story and put things together. People read stories to kids so they will shut up or to get them to relax and settle down. They learn the message that is being said through the story.

The readers will get either some lesson or a piece of knowledge out of it, or just a sense of content. Older readers learn about younger times and just general knowledge of the topic of the book or story.

3. Why? In our nation: Stories are important to our nation because they are a form of speech and individuality. When people write on a serious topic, it grabs peoples attention and brings up further discussion. The stories allow the reader and the writer to express their feelings behind a specific event or side of a story.

3. Your Stories: I remember from when I was younger these little books that had probably ten to twelve pages in them. But still i would ask my mom to read them to me over and over again. Mainly because of the pictures i think, but it might have had to do with the story line a little bit. These stories stand out mostly because i still have them at home in this box with all of my other childhood belongings.
