What makes a story? Why do we tell stories?

   To me, what makes a story is the plot. The plot of a story represents the creativity the author had when they were thinking about the idea for it. A good plot has a protagonist, an antagonist,and conflict. Without these things the story is dull and the reader had nothing to look forward to when reading it.

   What is the point of even writing stories? I feel that sharing ideas with others broadens peoples imaginations. When listening or reading to other people's stories you take a break from reality and see things through the eyes of another person. This, I think is what keeps people sane. If everyone sat around and thought of nothing else but what goes on in their own lives, nothing would be interesting.
