    Those with chronic diseases, however, often adopt the diagnosis as a part of their identity. In fact, Rosenberg refers to chronic diseases as “constitutional” because they come to play a key role in patients’ lives, acting as a “structuring element in an ongoing narrative” as well as a motivation to “construe past habits and incidents in terms of their possible relationship to present disease.” In their article, “The Social Construction of Illness,” researchers Kirstin Barker and Peter Conrad elaborate on the struggle of people to reclaim their sense of self from their illness, calling it an “illness identity.”…

    Another example of the kidnapped woman using fairytales as a tool for survival is when she compares her imprisonment to that of Cinderella. She pleads, “At least Cinderella had her work to keep her busy – the familiarity of sweeping floors and washing windows and cooking the daily bread. If nothing else, because she had truly suffered she could appreciate her ever after” (p. 37). Knowing the Cinderella story gives the kidnapped woman perspective on her situation. She does not have daily tasks to keep her busy like Cinderella did, but knowing that Cinderella eventually escapes imprisonment helps her endure this hardship.…

    In Pamela Petty’s The Baby and the Bathwater: A Tale of Standards and Storytelling, she made the argument that the practice of storytelling needs to play a more integral part in today’s education system. According to Petty, the process of telling stories helps students retain knowledge and learn course material through the use of interesting tales not found in textbooks or through the use of technology. By using storytelling in different forms (music, poems, books, oral stories, etc.), educators can aid students in learning material using a teaching technique that has been used throughout history with successful results (Petty 2016). I really enjoyed Petty’s article and she voiced similar sentiments that I myself have felt about the modern…
