Western Storytelling and Eastern Storytelling

Strongsuits:

-Eastern Storytelling:

Freedom of expression and creativity

-Western Storytelling:

I don’t know

I remember making a facebook post to the Facebook Groups that I’m at about that. One person made an excellent response which is this:

For Example.

How Easterners tell a story:

Buddhism, Taoism, and Shinto play a crucial role although the Easterners didn’t use them as a means of preach, but the same way that Tolkien puts Christianity in his stories. They decided to make their stories into pure growth and they’re not afraid to have their heroes lose battles and show their heroes training.

How Westerners tell a story:

They never have their heroes lose a fight although they do lose in a fight for only a little bit. Some of these heroes never train except for some heroes.

Good point and sorry about that. I didn’t pay much since I’m not good at paying attention well. But still, sorry and you’re right it’s kinda unfair well actually god level unfair because I generalized Western and Eastern Storytelling to American and Japanese Storytelling because the Western and Eastern Storytelling that I mostly pay attention to is American Storytelling and Japanese Storytelling. Thank you for making good points and reminding me. Let me see if I can rename it. If I can’t might as well make a remake of this topic which will be named Amercian Storytelling and Japanese Storytelling instead.
