What I have come to realize are that stories our a very important aspect to our society. Stories can be told in all different kinds of ways such as a book, folk tales, myths and more, true or not everything is a story. Stories help us to recognize what can be true, and sometimes let us realize what is false in our lives. Especially in high school you will be hearing a lot of "stories" or in other words rumors that you can interpret however you want and i think thats what makes us who we are. I like to think that stories connect people in ways, especially stories in the past. Stories connect humans every day weather it's the latest PEOPLE magazine, or the latest couple, or simply the new Sarah Dessen book that came out we are all joined with stories that may or may not be true, but it's how you interpret them is what makes us who we are.

In the book Sold by Patricia McCormick, obviously the author was enlightened by this incredible, heart breaking story about a young girl who is sold into se slavery and eventually becomes a woman. In reading Sold, it has opened my eyes by this story because if i hadn't read it, and if someone didn't have the desire to write a story about this i wouldn't have knows too much about this. These young women shared their experiences at the end of the book through stories which made it all that more effective.
