STORYTELLING
A storyteller is a person who tells stories to others. For me it is an art, because the person has to do sounds and act. They have to change voices, to change the feeling of the story, like a happiness or afraid, to talk faster and louder to do the story more exciting, to use dialogue and to use different voices for different characters.
Sometimes, the storyteller use different techniques to tell the story; for example, they use puppets to do the story funnier.
It’s very important to preserve this culture to tell stories, because if you use this technique you can make the story funnier and all the audience pay more attention and they enjoy that.
There are many kinds of stories; for example, fairytale; this case is when in the story is a princess and prince, they have a love history with a happy ending, like sleep beauty, snow white and Cinderella. Also, there are stories about fears, for example about vampires, monsters and some others. There are stories for babies or children like puss in boots, the three little pigs.
In Costa Rica, there are some examples of stories or legends, like: “La llorona”, “el cadejos”, “la carreta sin bueyes”, “la tule vieja”,” el padre sin cabeza”, “la mona”, and some others.
