How To Tell A Story

While in a previous post i have talked about some ways in techniques people use to create a good story here ill talk about how some say you can tell a great story. 

• Cook the story:  Some areas say that a great story has to worked on. While some  conversationalists tend to tell the story in its raw form –- simply retelling events in an objective way. Many argue that this is simple as reading something from the paper and saying it's your story, these writers state that to create a good story you have to work on it.

• Paint the scene: Too much detail will be boring and the same goes for too little detail. some research has this example.

Bad = “We went to a city.”

Okay = “We went to Detroit.”

Better = “We drove our little Honda to Detroit.”

Good = “We drove our little Honda through the war-torn city I call Detroit.”

Good, almost too much detail = “We drove our little 1997 Honda through the smog invested, war-torn city I like to call Detroit and it barely survived the 11 potholes we hit.”

Too much detail = “We drove our little 1997 Honda Civic through the smog invested, war-torn city I like to call Detroit and it barely survived the 11 potholes, 5 cracks, and two homeless people that we almost hit.”

• Establish the norm, and then contrast that with how an event didn't go as expected.  A great story is about something that isn’t normal and doesn’t happen all the time. It’s where things were normal until something happened that made them not so normal anymore. This is a very effective and highly recommended way to tell parts or all of your story. 

Now some points  on this area have issue to what i am aiming for due to the use of points such as ADD Dialogue or Including Your own Reaction these are somethings i am unable to achieve based on the idea that i intend to go with for the project.
