• Without the transformation of someones thinking – not much of the narrative will be remembered.
• If it’s touching – produces experience that will last for a long time.

• Should address intellect, learning and understanding – or ‘knowing’.
• Experience has predominantly subjective nature – Emotions and associations being triggered.
