The writing, "Living the Narrative Life" by author Gian S. Pagnucci, is a powerful example of how narratives are an important part of teaching, preserving, and sensitizing life events.
I really enjoyed Pagnucci's perspective of writing narratives. He has motivated me to write about my experiences and memories from life and to treasure each moment.
One story he shared, has really touched my heart and mind as a writer. It was his story about a friend he met in the hospital who shared his common interest in comic books and who had leukemia. His friend idled Professor X, a superhero who was bound to his wheelchair, but used mind powers to fight bad guys. Professor X served as an inspiration to the boy where he felt he could look beyond his illness and still conquer life. This story showed me life will always hand us obstacles, always say we can't achieve, and always knock us down when we are already low. However, life is about getting back up and inspiring others. Our failures and trials can serve and relate to others through our writing. Pagnucci has shown me that it is the simple things in life that can influence others.
