Each of the links I included explain why it is important for life to be told in stories. They go in depth about the benefits of viewing and telling our experiences as a story. I hope to use these throughout my essay to strengthen my argument of creating self-narratives. By giving my audience visuals and other opinions I hope to create a better understanding for story telling. But I do acknowledge I need to incorporate other opinions rather than reiterating the same ideas multiple times. But once I write my essay I believe it will become easier to incorporate different forms of communication as I will create a personal story that will reflect narratives as a whole. I really like the video as it is a visual and auditory form of multimodal communication rather than more linguistic communication. I hope to use a video and/or a picture in which will capture who I am and how personal narratives have effected me. Overall, I think the links I included will help create a step to forming my essay and help me show my narrative and the way it impacts me, but also just the importance of story telling as a whole.
