ABSTRACT
Life is a continuous process of organizing or structuring of experience. We have a strong longing for order and sense but we live in a world that may not have any. As we do not have a direct knowledge of the world, our knowing requires that we interpret or ascribe meaning to our experiences, which become intelligible or comprehensible when seen in a historical sequence of beginning, middle and end. Thus, the lived experiences and events get turned into ‘stories’. According to Brooks (1984: 3), it is the plot that ‘makes events into story. The plot therefore, places us at the crossing point of temporality and narrativity.’
