Document Summary
Virtually all shared stories feature all 5 elements of the pentad (agent, scene, purpose, agency, act), but their degree of significance can vary greatly. A sine element may appear in multiple forms in a particular story. Many stories feature multiple agents and multiple scenes, for example. Again, the key question is identifying which are the most significant for a particular narrative or part of a narrative. The value of this type of analysis is twofold. It allows the analyst to see the structure of meaning production in a story and also to differentiate stories based on the elements that are emphasized. Example: titanic scene = ship jack + rose message of titanic: watch out for icebergs love never drowns (better message) The exhibition is a story that is fundamentally concerned with a display of selfhood. It may involve positive or negative self-presentations, accounts of o(cid:374)e"s pe(cid:396)so(cid:374)al e(cid:454)pe(cid:396)ie(cid:374)ce, a(cid:374)d othe(cid:396) (cid:396)ep(cid:396)ese(cid:374)tatio(cid:374)s of u(cid:374)i(cid:395)ue aspects of o(cid:374)e"s life.
