We tell our stories be letting people know what defines us as people. An example would be “That, and so many other smaller incidents in my life, made me realize that language, even more than color, defines who you are to people.”

Our stories tell people of our reputations and how important our own grandeur is. "Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.". THis quote shows the reader how important the way others see us.

We tell our stories with hopes of finding change within ourselves and find a meaning to our lives. “It is the experiences, the memories, the great triumphant joy of living to the fullest extent in which real meaning is found. God it's great to be alive! Thank you. Thank you.”. This quote was Chris McCandless' final words, and from the looks of it, he found what he was looking for.

We tell our stories in a way that gives others the motivation to not give up on something and do what they want. “The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”. This quote is simple in the idea of it, but it can carry a lot of power in a person's mind.

People have the ability to be the conflict in our stories. “O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss,
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger:
But O, what damnèd minutes tells he o'er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!".
This quote was spoken by Iago, who seems to be helping Othello by saying this, but his real motive is to put bad thoughts in his head.

Sometimes people can be a hindrance in our stories without realizing it. “It is true that I miss intelligent companionship, but there are so few with whom I can share the things that mean so much to me that I have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded with beauty...”. McCandless sees other people as a hindrance to his mission, whether he would like to or not.

People an be guiding lights in our stories that give us the inspiration we need to keep moving. “When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.

Sometimes people tell our stories without our knowledge or permission. “Do it not with poison. Strangle her in her bed, even the bed she hath contaminated.” Iago is convincing Othello to kill his own wife, Desdemona, who he claims has cheated on her. In this case, Iago has told Desdemona's story entirely wrong in an effort to ruin Othello.

By the way we act and handle ourselves, people can make inferences and formulate our story. “He read a lot. He used a lot of big words. I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often. A couple of times I tried to tell him it was a mistake to get too deep into that kind of stuff, but Alex got stuck on things. He always had to know the absolute right answer before he could go on to the next thing”. This quote is showing how someone saw Alex Supertramp, or Chris McCandless, by observing his actions and other things he did.

People like to give their own advice to others when listening to their stories, and when those stories are retold, that advice may be incorporated. But rarely do they have any advice to give to themselves, because looking at oneself objectively is hard.  “Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own”. The King of Salem said this quote to the boy, in hopes that he would look at himself objectively, and change himself.

It could be for a sense of reward. “Being chosen is the greatest gift you can give to another human being". When someone talks about your accomplishments, you feel a sense of pride in yourself because you know people believe that you earned it.

We can allow others to vouch for us in our stead.  A halter pardon him! and hell gnaw his bones! Why should he call her whore? who keeps her company? What place? what time? what form? what likelihood? The Moor’s abused by some most villainous knave, Some base notorious knave, some scurvy fellow". In this quote, Emelia says that Othello is being controlled by another, vouching for his discrepancies.

We allow others to tell our stories as a way of being remembered of how we were. “That's what was great about him. He tried. Not many do". This is how someone remembered Chris McCandless.

Maybe we allow others to tell our stories as a way of proving ourselves to be true. “When you possess great treasures within you and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed". This quote is saying, if you have some great information and tell it to others, they probably won't believe you.

Your purpose can be affiliated with the way you were raised. “When I look back, I realize she raised me like a white kid—not white culturally, but in the sense of believing that the world was my oyster, that I should speak up for myself, that my ideas and thoughts and decisions mattered". By experiencing his life in this way, Trevor Noah was able to find a purpose for himself as a comedian and public speaker.

Maybe our life experiences are all done in accordance with our purpose because are willpower to achieve something as big as that. "Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners". With our willpower to go through life experiences, we can find our purpose.

Sometimes our life experiences are our purpose. Maybe just experiencing life is what happiness comes from. “It is the experiences, the memories, the great triumphant joy of living to the fullest extent in which real meaning is found. God it's great to be alive! Thank you. Thank you". In his last words, Chris McCandless found true happiness as he was dying in the Alaskan wilderness. Even when he knew he was about to die, he still was grateful for the life he lived.

Living within the experience could also be our purpose, like just living in the moment. “I'm alive. When I'm eating that's all I think about. If I'm on the march, I just concentrate on marching. If I have to fight,it will be just as good a day as any to die. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. Life is the moment we are living now.” The camel driver says this to the boy as if this was his purpose for living.

When your purpose gives you money, some options for life experiences open up.“The first thing I learned about having money was that it gives you choices. People don’t want to be rich. They want to be able to choose. The richer you are, the more choices you have. That is the freedom of money”. Money can open many doors of experiencing life.

If are purpose is to simply experience life, then that is what you should do. "If you want to get more out of life, Ron, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty". Chris writes to Ron about this and it seemed to start a fire within Ron, because he did exactly that.

Our purpose can affect the way others perceive us.“I became a chameleon. My color didn't change, but I could change your perception of my color. If you spoke Zulu, I replied to you in Zulu. If you spoke to me in Tswana, I replied to you in Tswana. Maybe I didn't look like you, but if I spoke like you, I was you". Trevor Noah blended in with others so others wouldn't see him as a mixed race kid, but as one of them.

Our purpose can mold our outlook on life.“To be poor but content is actually to be quite rich. But you can have endless riches and still be as poor as anyone if you are always afraid of losing your riches". Your outlook on life can also have a way of affecting others around you.

Maybe our purpose is to live through the journey and arrive at our destination, which might just be the end of our lives.“The trip was to be an odyssey in the fullest sense of the word, an epic journey that would change everything". For some people, an "odyssey" is exactly what drives people.
