Using storytelling to start a movement is astonishing, but actually achieving/ establishing something out of it is mind blowing

Movement is getting bigger

Can storytelling be negative though? Can it divide people? Create stereotypes?

Do frames have a limit? Do you have to stick to a certain frame or can you branch off and combine different types of frames?

Interesting how storytelling can influence such a big movement; everyone realizes how much they can relate to other people's lives and they start to come together

Interesting how her son learned all of these subjects from baseball cards, he's kind of teaching himself if you think about it

Do people really argue over genres? It seems kind of ridiculous

Formulas can be good at times but they can also be very limiting

Haven't thought about this before. When a person creates a new genre, other writers would follow the original address(es) to create their response

Can an essay be too personal?

Workshopping could be another form of contact zones, right?

Creative writing kind of reminds me of contact zones. You can interpret it in your own way, there's no right or wrong answer.

Could this be the same as the rhetorical triangle? Or be used in a similar way?

This part reminds me of George Lakoff's article about framing and the use of language. Your choice of words can influence a person and make them feel certain emotions (doesn't matter if it's a good or bad emotion)

Really interesting how a contact zone could be defined in many ways. It doesn't have to be in a physical place, it can also be online or over social media. When you think about it, contact zones kind of evolves over time.

Didn't realize how important storytelling is until now. There could be a person who thinks that they're alone in the world, but as they hear these stories from other people, they're able to relate/ connect with others and establish new relationships.
