Story Telling Understanding

What is story telling?
Story telling is the conveying of events in words, images, and sounds, often by improvisation or embellishment.
Today we had a known some basics of Story Telling in our Writing for Designers class; we talked about pace writing, pace writing has a construction that is intro content climax and outro:
1, intro as introduction, to start a story to narrate the place, time and characters.
2, content as what's happening in the story, to narrate the situation of the story to give the whole story a base to begin with the story.
3, climax as the top of the story line, to keep the story to the top, there's a turning point before the climax.
4, outro as the end of the story to finish the whole story.
The order of these four paces can be changed, we can start a story with climax or the other 3 paces.

We also talked about the first person, the second person and the third person in story telling:
1, the first person as "I" "we", a story can be told on the first person's behalf, as the experiences that happened around me, or us.
2, the second person as "you", the second person can not be telling a story, but in a story, the second person appears to be in a conversation or commands.
3, the third person as "he" "she" "it" "they", the third person can also be telling the story, and a story that has been told on the third person's behalf makes the story more mysterious.

Story telling is a very interesting topic, stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation, and to instill moral values, crucial elements of stories and story telling include plot, characters and narrative point of view. Well, storytelling is the matters of culture, education and cultural preservation, it makes people obtain lots of knowledge through the stories, the better story, the more memorable, impressed and inspired, a better way of storytelling could make the whole story wonderful and also memorable.
