And there are some just horrible examples of times where people have tried to transfer what they did in oral storytelling to the page, mostly in children's books. "And what do you think they saw?" is a phrase that I would love to wipe from every children's book on the planet. When you are reading to children, you can stop and ask them, "What do you think they saw?" and discuss the answer with them. It's like asking my 15-month-old niecelet to find the dinosaur in the picture book, but more advanced. But you don't write it on the page! Yarg!
