Kurt Vonnegut Jr.s book "Slaughterhouse 5" begins with the sentences...

"Listen. Billy Pilgrim has become unstuck in time."

Why would it make sense for this story to be narrated chronologically.

Maybe read Ursula K. LeGuin's most excellent book "The Dispossed". Genuinly my favorite book after the Good Book.

Why are stories passed down fun to tell?

Sure, your guess is right, however, there is more to that than just fun. This is my take on the topic; Stories are categorised under oral literature, they are supposed to be narrated to the respective audience. Reasons why stories are passed down include: Culture maintainance: Most stories are attributed to certain communities and societies, most of us tend to be conservatives of our cultures and would like to have something unique in relation to their community. Our fore fathers with the same aim as this passed down stories originated from our communities and some are still on today. Moral lessons: Mostly when you read or listen to stories being narrated, you will hear the narrator say this at the end "And the moral of this story is ......". Stories with some moral values attached were passed down with the sole aim of passing that moral value to you and me. With those two main reasons mentioned, we then conclude with your assumption, stories were also passed down for the purpose of fun. Witty stories are still used today and so were they, years ago. Any additions can be added.


Is it true Most plots unfold chronologically?

While many plots do unfold chronologically, it's not universally true for all narratives. Some stories employ non-linear structures, using flashbacks, flash-forwards, or multiple timelines to enhance the storytelling. This technique can create suspense, deepen character development, or reveal key information at strategic moments. Ultimately, the choice depends on the story's purpose and the author's creative vision.
