TEN CANOES makes a number of statements about storytelling. Many of these "statements" are direct; many of them are indirect. Some of these "statements" are articulated verbally; others are made through the formal means of the film. Some of these "statements" pertain to the storyteller, some pertain to the storytelling process, some pertain to the story itself and others pertain to the audience.
Try to collect as many of these "statements" as you can -- by describing them in your journal. Make connections between these statements and some of the ideas we've been talking about in our class.
(You may have to watch the film a second time in order to write this journal -- but it will be time well spent!)
(Remember, a good story requires patience.)
