Storytelling is important to human existence because it is a means of capturing memories of the past and incorporating them into ethical and everyday life. Memory and ethics coincide with each other as one can be an explanation or an observation of the other; without one, the other would most likely not make sense. Goodbye Lemon written by Adam Davies is a wonderful example that exudes the power of storytelling. The narrator, Jack, writes of the many different personal qualities and traits his deceased brother Dexter might have possessed, since Jack was too young to have any memory of his brother. Through the prologue of Goodbye Lemon , Davies wants to convey to his audience that you can bring any character to life through writing.

The character Reverend Parris is straight away presented as a very high up, intelligent man and likes to think of himself as a very respectable person.

Mainly Frederick teaches himself and becomes an educated man (1018). Those two things are just the beginning of Douglass's new start in life and his transformation leading to becoming a free man. He endured many other trials and tribulations that made him a stronger, better man, but without this experience, his education would not have come the same way and he might not have been as passionate about becoming a free man if it was not for Mr. Auld.
