Not gonna lie, this weeks reading for Integrated Media by Ryan kind of confused me a little. Maybe it’s that I’m reading it late in the day when my brain is already tired and not focusing properly, but reading this just gave me a sore head. In saying this though, here are some points that I took away from reading it, either because I understood and agree with it, I was confused by it, or just simply because it gave me some good information.

. ‘Events are the raw material out of which stories are made.’

. ‘Story is a mental image, a cognitive construct that concerns certain types of entities and relations between these entities.’

. ‘I am not saying that life “is” a narrative, but it can in certain circumstances suggest a quality that we may call “narrativity”.’

. ‘We can never be sure that sender and receiver have the same story in mind.’
