What do you understand by “telling” and “re-telling”
"Telling" refers to the act of communicating
information or a story for the first time. "Re-telling" refers to the
act of repeating or reciting that same information or story again, often with
the goal of clarifying or emphasizing certain points.
For example, imagine a teacher telling a story to their class
about how George Washington chopped down a cherry tree. The teacher is
"telling" the story for the first time to the class. Later in the
day, the teacher may ask a student to "re-tell" the story to the
class as a way to review the information and make sure the students understand
it.
what do you mean by re telling
"Re-telling" refers to the act of repeating or
reciting information or a story that has been previously communicated. It is
often used as a way to review or summarize what was previously said, or to
emphasize certain points that were made. It can also help people to remember
the information better. The re-telling can be done by the same person who told
the story first time or by someone else. It could be done in written or oral
forms.
The main difference between "telling" and
"re-telling" is that "telling" is the initial act of
communicating information or a story, while "re-telling" is the act
of repeating or reciting that same information or story again at a later time.
what is the difference between them re telling and telling
When someone is "telling" a story, they are sharing
new information with the audience, while when someone is "re-telling"
a story, they are reviewing or summarizing information that has already been
shared. The purpose of "telling" is to introduce new information,
while the purpose of "re-telling" is often to reinforce or clarify
that information.
Another key difference is that "telling" is the
first time information is shared, while "re-telling" is a repetition
of that information. "Telling" is the original communication while
"re-telling" is a repetition of the original communication.
Our lives and their pathways are not fixed in stone; instead
they are shaped by story. The ways in which we understand and share the stories
of our lives therefore make all the difference. If we tell stories that
emphasize only desolation, then we become weaker. Alternatively, we can tell
our stories in ways that make us stronger, in ways that soothe the losses, in
ways that ease sorrow.
This revelation, so elegantly stated above, is something I
came to know independently. I had been studying the works of Carl Jung and
Joseph Campbell in an attempt to become a better storyteller.
I wanted to be the kind of artist who understood how stories
worked, why they played such large roles in our lives and culture, why people
respond to them so strongly, and perhaps most importantly at the time–how to
tell the kinds of powerful stories that change the world.
Imagine my surprise then, when instead of changing the world,
this new knowledge of storytelling instead changed me. Which, I’ve come to
believe, is and always has been the entire point of storytelling.
Stories shape us just as much as we shape the stories we
create. Which makes understanding how stories work on a structural and
psychological level so important.
They matter not only in the context of entertainment, news,
or business–but perhaps most importantly in our private thought-lives and
personal relationships.
