This course has helped me evolve in my understanding of stories and how I should analyze them and whether I should analyze them at all. I now search for a story no matter where I am and try to relate it to some of the topics we discussed in class but mainly evolution. I have realized that interpreting a story is not important. I have started to think of all stories in terms of evolution, conscious , unconscious and try to be on the lookout for elements and themes in storybooks that point towards them.

I don't think I can look at a science book without thinking about the story that is in there. I have started searching for stories everywhere. Before I took this class, I never saw a story in anything and even if I did, I did not have much interest in learning about it. Yes, I still prefer some stories over the other but just because of that I don't belittle the other stories anymore. Science is not just boring mumbo jumbo and literature is not just "some story or boring poem" now. If nothing else, I have learnt to be tolerant of other stories and views and thoughts and that is how I think I have evolved.
