I would like to offer my fellow classmates, and you, professor, a little games; some plot are so famous that I thought it would be interesting to try to describe them and see if you can recognize it.

1) My first story is written as a third-person narrator and tends to have an omniscient narration.
Plot: During a dark night, a young boy is dropped behind the door of his uncle and aunt, who will raise him with negligence until his 11th birthday, a day where his life will be changed forever, taking us with him for seven magical years.

2) for my second plot, I only saw the movie, so I could not describe the narrative style: Abord, a train stuck between Istanbul and London by heavy snow, a man is found dead, stabbed 12 times. A famous detective start tries to solve the murder. The plot twist is incredible as it is actually the 12 other passengers of the train who each stabbed the victim.

I agree with Jonathan Culler that story brings pleasure., teaches us, and develop our imagination. They bring a lot of emotions in a range of excitement, fear, sadness, and can carry you away to a full different world than yours. Throughout history, the narration has been used to share the news through the troubadours that were traveling from land to land, relating events and battle. They brought to sleep many excited children, who, later on, dreamed about slaying the dragon that kept the princess in her tower, and in a more awake state, they allow us, the narrates to escape this reality through the white page covered with ink.

    I like the way you have approached this post, and I agree with a point you made about the purpose of the stories. Stories bring pleasure. I think pleasure is one of the main purposes of stories, and as you mentioned, it helps us develop our imaginations. Most importantly, while reading stories, perhaps just for pleasure, we are also learning things that can help us in very different ways in our lives, depending on what it is about.
