CHAPTER 7
Human beings like to tell stories. How we describe
the world and live our lives are bound in the
stories we tell. We're not just good at telling
stories, however—we're also good at seeing them.
Perceiving stories is part of how we understand
our world. Just as we can see patterns in the
arrangement of shapes and forms—animals in the
clouds or a face in the knots of a tree—we make
stories out of things that happen around us. We
impose a pattern, a meaningful sequence, on a set
of events, and a story emerges.
