Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity...That when we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place (or anyone), we regain a kind of paradise."
Prompt - Think of the single story created about you that you wrote about in the previous column. REJECT THE SINGLE STORY by telling another story about yourself, for a more complete story of YOU.

They make one story become the only story."
Think of a single story that was told about YOU. It could have come from family, friends, or society. Prompt 1 - What was the single story created about you?
Prompt 2 - Who created that single story about you? Respond to BOTH prompts thoughtfully (Thoughtfully means it shows you are thinking a lot about what you are writing).
