While reading Life’s Stories I went into it with an open mind because I wasn’t sure what to expect coming from the title. When one of the first things that caught my eye in this article was when Julie Beck says in the article “Life stories do not simply reflected personality. They are personality, or more accurately, they are important parts of personality, along with other parts, like dispositional traits,goals, and values.” When I read this I first fell in…

Which when discussing it in class I was not the only one who was confused which made me feel a lot better. My first time reading the article it felt all over the place to me and I really did not know…
