Everyone tells their own story differently. An interesting quote that stood out to me was “It’s in the late teens and early years of adulthood that story construction really picks up-because then people have developed some of the cognitive tools they need to create a coherent life story” (Beck 5). One point that I think Beck is trying to bring up is that you won’t have such an interesting and well put together of your life until you’ve actually lived your life enough.
I think the stories that other people tell you influences your way of you telling your own story. One point that Beck states is that not everyone has a happy ending, which is the truth, but I wasn’t expecting her to bring that up. Not everyone has some sort of redemption story which was an interesting thing to actually think about. I personally believe that not everyone has a happy ending but I do believe everyone gets an equal shot at redemption. You just have to want your redemption enough. As long as you never give up on trying to make things better I believe things can change and get better.
I really liked your blog. I liked the quotes you picked for this assignment what your explantations were behind them. But I do think you could explain how you got the quotes you were talking about. I dob’t think you really described where it came from. I think once you explain the article more and maybe introduce your article with it it would make more sense.
