Storytelling Questions

1. Who are the best storytellers in your family? Why?
The best storyteller in my family is either my dad or my grandfather(my mother's dad). My dad is a great storyteller because he adds vivid detail and it feel like I am in the story. My grandfather is also a great storyteller because he has experienced so much in his life, and I find him to be extremely wise. I learn beneficial values and information from him and his stories. 

2. Where and when are stories told in your family?
In my family, stories can be told in different situations, whether I'm alone with them or we are all together. Usually, the stories are told at dinner or during dessert, or even when we are just having a fun time and it reminds them of a memory worth telling.

3. Identify one or two quintessential stories told in your family. Why are these stories so important? Why are they told and retold?
One story that my dad repeatedly tells my family is when my sister Lexi was born and when I was born. When Lexi was first born, she was silent and wide-eyed, whereas I was crying and crying very much. This is not only important to our family but it is also funny because my mom can look back on that moment and my sister, brother, and I laugh and try to imagine what that memory was like.
