The Building Blocks of Stories

Watching the youtube videos of Ira Glass gave me another way of looking at stories. In the first video when he talks about the building blocks of story telling that really caught my attention. I think that all stories have a begining, middle and end; but I had never thought of a question. As I thought about it more and more though most good stories that I think of had me asking a question through out the whole thing. It was not until the very end that my curiousity was answered with why or how.  These actions that lead me to follow the story was another thing that came up in his video. One thing that I really did like that he said was that you should just be who you are. When reporting or broadcasting just be who you are, be comfortable.
