#7- Characteristics of a well-told story

Part 1: Stories are so important to our childhood because it opens up every childs' imagination to new things in our world. Children learn new things through learning like colors, shapes, and morals. Many people read stories to kids because in some cases it can settle down a hyper child or a parent may want their child to be able to read at an ealier age. Out if this experience, kids under stand things going on in the world better. In many stories, the main character learns that she did something wrong and then decides that she should never do that again. I feel that this is what parents really want a child to learn. They want their children to learn what is right and what is wrong.


Part 2: People later in life read stories because it plessures the brain. By reading, kids inhance their inteliigence and can explore different styles of literature. These readers get to learn about true stories out of the experience. Older people can learn about inspiring stories that can teach people lessons.


Part 3: Stories are so important to our nation because they inform the public of what is happening in our world today. They inform people and therefor people make different choices in their life. Stories allow the reader to believe in a horrbile/great occurance that may have happened. After reading a true enduring story people can sometimes tend to want to change their lifestyle for the better of them of their country. Stories allow the writer to express inner emotions about an event in their life or somthing that has changed who they are today.


Part 4: One stories that i remember very well is the story, "I Love You Forever". I really liked and still like this story because it makes me want to love my mom and dad the same as the mans' mom did. In the story the mom takes care of his son and holds him until she is too old. When he is older he does the same for her. My other favrotie story from my childhood is "The Giving Tree". I think that these stories stand out to me bacause my mom read them to me so much. I really think that the reason that my mom read those books to me so much as so that I would remember the morals of those books, which I still do to this day. I connect to my mom with all of these stories.


Part 5:

1. Good Morals- Morals in a story allow kids to learn from a characters mistake and then know always what the right thing to do is. The author should always include some time of moral so that kids learn somthing from reading the story.
2. Creative- If a story is boring, kids won't be into the book and then it will all jsut be a waste. When an author is creative in their story, it intrigues kids.
3. Descriptive- Readers get a better understanding of their main character when they can imagine what he/she actually looks like.
4. Emotional- When a character shows their strong feelings about something/event the reader can sometimes relate themselves to the characters thoguhts/ideas.
5. Interesting- Writers always need to make sure that their story can target a certain age group.
6. Understandable- When there is too much going on in a story a reader can get easily comfunsed and frustrated. Especially for kids, they want a straight to the point and easily understandable book.
7. Unique- This allows a story to be different from any others. Many readers enjoy something different than jsut the usualy same types of stories.
