Storytelling is very important in Krik Krack because since its a book of short stories you need to make them have some sort of connection or there won't be a point in reading. The author has to be very creative in the way she writes to make all of these stories flow as if they could be one. For example in the first story about the boy who was on a boat that was sinking and he died trying to escape. Later you find out in the most recent one we read that there was a boat found by Miami. So it leaves it up to you, the reader if this is connected or not. Another example of this is by her titles they give you and idea about what you will be reading about and if you really analyze it there are a lot of clues she leaves. Like in the book Night Woman, she choose this title to make you think that this will be about a woman who doe something in the night time maybe. As you come to find out when reading the book you realize that the woman has a secret, during the day she is a worker just earning minimum wage and at nigh she is a prostate. Also another thing that is common in her stories is that she makes them all in the low class. They are very poor and are beryl getting by. And one person in the family dies, they either kill themselves because they can't stand living like that anymore or something bad happens to them. Another book that I think also is a great example of storytelling is 1937 in this its a mother and daughter the mother was thrown in prison because she was accused with using witchcraft to kill a baby. In prison she's treated like dirt and is horrible beaten. Also the guards pour buckets of water on the woman so they don't grow wings of fire and escape. I liked this story lot because I really got a sense of the characters and I just thought it was interesting how the guards acted toward the woman almost like they actually had powers. And the last book I think showed a great deal of storytelling was the one about the family in Haiti who's father dies when trying to fly with the balloon. This one was very interesting during the whole story the father Guy wanted to fly to escape his horrible life only making a dollar a day. And a way to be free was to fly away and at his job they had this big balloon one day he took it and tried to fly but fell to a horrible death. This story connects back with the common theme of death and poverty. This is why I think that storytelling is important in the story she writes because they are separate but when you read them all you can see the connections that they all make to eachother other.
