After listening to Merlixse Ventura’s story titled “White Coats and Red Wigs” I understand how important it is to use this specific story structure when telling a story. She starts off by telling us how badly she wanted to be a doctor all her life, even when she was a young kid and her passion was different from everyone else’s. Then she talks about her experience doing an internship in pediatric oncology and how she was passionate about working with children. But during the duration of the internship, she found herself becoming attached to a young girl who had cancer. Then she realized she was doing what she wasn’t supposed to, but couldn’t help but continue to see the little girl. She then goes on and says she doesn’t want to be a doctor anymore because she cannot deal with not getting involved in her patients lives. I thought the narrative structure of this story was interesting because she focused on a person from her life and how those experiences changed the trajectory of her future. The only sounds I could hear were the audience and her speaking, but I noticed her voice changed in different parts of the story, like when she talked about her experience with the girl. The ending was not what I expected but I’m happy that Merlixse was able to make this realization and ended on a positive note.
