What is Story

READ IT CAREFULLY:
this is very far from what the assignment asked you to do, and doesn’t follow any of the requirements. You
were to first summarize Yorke’s article “All Stories are the Same.” the assignment then stated “After briefly
and accurately summarizing the key point and main ideas of the article, respond by addressing the
question: Are all stories “the same”? (In the way in which Yorke argues). Use evidence from six of the texts
that we have read for this module, to help you make your argument. Try to bring in very different types of
texts: Myths, articles about heroes, etc; however, only refer to texts in your essay that we have read for this
module – module five.” All you have done here is provide a short summary of each reading or myth, but
there is no connection to Yorke’s article and nothing that connects the myths together. For this to get any
points, it will need to be completely redone, following the essay prompt exactly.
THIS WAS THe Assignment:

3)Are all stories “the same”? (In the way in which Yorke argues). Use evidence from six of the texts that we
have read for this module, to help you make your argument. Try to bring in very different types of texts:
Myths, articles about heroes, etc; however, only refer to texts in your essay that we have read for this
module – module five.
You are writing to explore and develop ideas about what a story is and how the very definition of a story —
what it means to us as human beings, connects to the concept of mythology and myths.
