Short Answer
1. What are the qualities of a great storyteller, and why are they important? What writers and filmmakers are popularly upheld as great storytellers?
Teaching Suggestion: Students may benefit from a brief introductory discussion on the concept of storytelling as a basic form of human expression in which people share stories with an audience either to entertain, enlighten, give moral instruction, or preserve their culture. Students may have a relative, teacher, or friend who tells great stories; in addition to writers and filmmakers, they may mention a comic artists, entertainers, songwriters, chefs, dancers, photographers, architects, and others. This question might be used to introduce the author Stephen King, commonly considered a master storyteller in the horror and suspense genre, or to preview the way in which The Body is told (the perspective of an adult recalling childhood events).
