S56E1 - Case Studies: Analyzing Stories

To begin our sixth year of Writing Roots, we wanted to equip you with the knowledge of how to break down stories that you consume so you can use them in your own writing. We've discussed before different tricks and ways to take influence from your favorite books and authors. This month, though, we'll be working together.

We begin with an overview of what it is to analyze a story. We'll break down what we're looking for, and what to consider as you consume. At the end of each episode this month, we'll assign you homework to watch one movie, which we'll discuss in our next episode.
