With this week’s reading I found it to be interesting. Gottschall argues that storytelling is evolving.  For me history tells me that with time everything evolves.  Ranging from life, how we think, and how things are made and told. Gottschall even goes on to say that we evolve and want more storys. For me I look at halo for this. When the game first came out people went crazy they wanted more of the story. Fast forword to today there is countless video games and more than twice the number of books.  I knew people that would play the halo games for days on end because the story of one man’s journey to save the human race from being wiped out.

As of 11:00 11/10/13 I have picked three different wars to look at. I am starting with World War One with Rommel’s book “Attacks” , “World War One Short Stories” by Bob Blaisdell, and “On the Front Line: True World War I Stories” by Jon E. Lewis. Vietnam is my middle war I am going to use “Vietnam: A View From the Frontlines” by Andrew Wiest, and “Vietnam: The Necessary War: A Reinterpretation of America's Most Disastrous Military Conflict” by Michael Lind. With the modern day wars I wanted to add that to my paper because it has affected everyone in the US in one way or another.  I am going to use “ No Easy Day” by Mark Owen and “American Sniper” by Chris Kyle.  With all this oral history for me to use I plan on showing that that with time war changes as well does stories about war.
