Several years ago we invited a storyteller/author to visit the school to talk about writing and tell some stories. To prepare for his visit, I read a large section of one of his novels to the class of teenagers in the preceding days. On the day, one of the stories he told was the 'same' one as the novel. However, they were distinctly different. He placed emphasis in different places, he used a different vocabulary, he used much more repetition when speaking, he used gestures and movements, etc. As well, good storytellers react to the audience. Listen to the same person tell the same story to several different groups and, if they are any good, they will tell a slightly different story every time because the audience reacts differently.
