Characteristics of a Well Told Story

Part 1: Stories are vital to kids in many ways. There are many lessons and themes that are present in children's books that are necessary for children to hear. A lot of the life lessons that kids learns are from reading books and from having people read books to them. People read stories to kids for the exact same reason- because they know that the stories will help them out and teach them things. Besides the themes that are present in the books, they also learn how to talk and to read.

Part 2: Most of the time when people are older like high school, they read for enjoyment. I know in my case, I never did this in High School, but instead I read because I was forced to read or else I would fail quizzes that I needed to pass most of the time. Had reading not been a part of the curriculum, no book would've been picked up by me during High School.

Part 3: A book that I remember reading was green eggs and ham. I remember it because I was read it alot and it was basically engraved into my head. I connect my mom to these stories because she was the one who was reading them to me, and I also connect Dr. Seuss to them.

Part 4: 1. A theme that pertains to most people's lives.
2. An entertaining plot that keeps the reader reading.
3. Well-devoloped, interesting characters that seem real
4. comedic parts that make me laugh
5. Realism- could actually happen
6. Suspense that gets the reader riled up
7. An ending that satisfies most readers.
