The article about Narrative Inquiry focuses mainly on a three dimensional system that inquirers use to develop their information. The following quotes are what resonate with me.
1. "Dewey's work on experience is our imaginative touchstone for reminding us that in our work, the answer to the ques tion, Why narrative? is, Because experience." pg 50 This explains to the reader that narrative has been a subject that has been thought about for years and years and it is not a new topic.
2."By inward, we mean toward the internal conditions, such as feelings, hopes, aesthetic reactions, and moral dis positions. By outward, we mean toward the existential conditions, that is, the environment. By backward and forward, we refer to temporal ity-past, present, and future." pg 50 This infers that when one conducts research they should make sure they cover every angle.
3. "What we mean by this is that we tell remembered stories of ourselves from earlier times as well as more current stories. All o f these stories offer possible plotlines for our futures." pg 60 Every story someone creates comes from some experience or some earlier experiences one goes through or heard of.
