MOTHER TONGUE 12/8/11
A narrativeis more effective that an opinion because it isn't forcing an idea on someone it is simply telling story and people can react to it in any way that they please. But by the way the story is told, it can give a message and people will tend to interpret it a certain way. Stories keep the audience interested and they can infer things in their own way, so people are more open to what is being said. In an opinion paper, people will tend to take a stance right away and not stray from that belief, but a story grows on you and slowly changes your mind without saying your opinion isn't valid.

Story telling and narratives draw people in and the listeners stay attentive because they want to hear what happens next. When you give an opinion, listeners often choose their stance only a sentence or two into the argument.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your position somewhat. Storytelling isn't always forcing an idea down someone's throat, it is normally just bringing to light another opinion, to bring something to the readers attention they might not know about. However, narratives are still more effective in my opinion.
