What's the Story‪?‬ Ron Beek III

In the last ever episode of “What's the Story?”, Ron and Kayla discuss conclusions in books, movies, and life. We reflect on the past year and our favorite endings to stories before saying goodbye to our “What's the Story?” audience one last time. 

This week, we talk about the new comic book "The Punishment: Social Justice" by Ryan Alves and Ron Beek III! The conversation gets deep into the nature of symbols, the trouble creators face when people misappropriate their work, and the awesome satisfaction of a good head explosion. Go to Linktr.ee/awe.comics to get your hands on "The Punishment: Social Justice" today, because... We really can't wait to share that story with you!

This week we talk about morality and symbolism as well as give an update on the future of What's the Story?" and the WTFAWTA network!

This week, the discourse turns to plotting and pacing and how the decision-making process involved in both of those aspects of fiction is more nuanced than it may initially appear.

Kayla and Ron delve into the question of Conflict. Can stories exist without it? Or are they vital and inherent to drama? Is there more than one type? And if so, are some conflicts greater than others?

This week we sit down to discuss the importance of theme and motif- a useful tool in helping illuminate your point for the audience!
