1. Who are the best storytellers in your family? Why?
The best storytellers in my family are all three of my sisters because they never leave out a single detail, and they tell stories in a dramatic way which excites and makes everyone laugh.
2. Where and when are stories told in your family?
My family tells stories whenever we have family over at our house and during holiday dinners.
3. Identify one or two quintessential stories told in your family. Why are these stories so important? Why are they told and retold?
My parents always share the story about how I got my name by my sisters. Another story my mom tells is how when I was little, my sisters took such great care of me and we all were so pleasant to each other (unlike now when we're all grown up). These stories are so important to my family because they make up the people we are today. If stories like these are not told retold all the time, I wouldn't know the funny and interesting stories of my family. Also, these stories bring back good memories for my parents and grandparents, reminding them of their children being to little. Family stories are a great way to bring family together.
