The book is organized around several prominent story groups, including various genres and forms, meant to promote discussion and discovery leading to students' understanding that these texts function as cultural sculptors of readers' principles and behaviors. Students develop the skill of analyzing texts and creating sound arguments about them through class discussions and a series of writing assignments. Ideally, they leave the course understanding how to create a sound argument and, more pointedly, that there is no such thing as "just a story."
