The message of the article seems to be to listen. if we all listen to people "tell their story", as said in the article, then writing, literature, storytelling, and communication will not be lost. the author also encourages to "tell your story". if people want to listen, they'll listen. it's a good way to be remembered and be heard.
In chapter one and Kenneth Burke's Parlor conversation, there seemed to be a theme of asking a question, researching, and analyzing a situation. This article is in agreeance with this overall theme. If we "listen" to other people when it comes to our experiement, our research will influence how we feel about our topic. we should research and listen to any agreeing and opposing sides in order to have all the facts.
I didn't even think about listening to other people's thoughts/opinions and how it could influence our topic when it came to our experiment. Good point!
