my summer, in stories

by Melanie Collier
English Education, fourth year

As much as I love to tell stories, I love to read them. In fact, I’ve found that the two go hand-in-hand. Story-reading is essential for storytellers, as great stories are often inspired by ones their authors have loved.

This summer, I fed the storyteller in me by reading as many stories as I could. As I review five of these stories, I’ll tell tales of my own life, demonstrating the fine line that exists between storytelling and story-reading.
