Is our life a narrative? As Adrian said, life isn’t a narrative yet. The 2 cones analogy provided a great way to understand the 2 different methods of storytelling. An open cone represents open ended stories and possibilities <, even though we can apply that to our lives i do believe once again it is how you define the end. We could say a life will always end in the same ending of death. However even though death would mean a closed cone >, because of the different paths could there be a fusion between the 2 cones or do we have to separate them entirely for the specific natures and outcomes. The notion of taxonomy can be seen to apply here as well. I’m not sure how relevant or intertwined they are but they seem to have some form of connection. It is interesting to note that our lives aren’t narratives in that events need to have passed in order for us to narrate them or someone else will. OUr lives are both stories and narratives. While we are in the present life is a story unfolding, but when we die our lives become a narrative. This reminds me of the movie Strange than Fiction, in which Will Ferrells life is being narrated in the present, so his life takes the form of a > cone as his fate is decided at every whim.
