"There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before"
- Willa Cather
Common stories of all people - these are stories that every person experience and go through during the course of their life. Some examples of these common stories are birth, death, experiences of love, and experiences of hate. They continue to repeat themselves. As one story ends, another new story begins - this is a never-ending cycle. Reading the quote above from Willa Cather once again, I believe that she is referring to the stories of birth and death. A life begins from a single cell, and it ends as a fully grown and aged adult. Death is something that is inevitable for all living organisms. It is nothing but a matter of time. People die young or die old.
What do you think Willa Cather is referring to?
