I think that it is harder to draw and tell someone else's story than it is to draw or tell your own story. This is because one cannot know every single detail of a story, such as details like who is in the background and what the weather was like. The drawer of the story has to create/imagine these details to put in the story unless they have been told them. The person whose story is being told could possibly get offended by the lack of authenticity in the story just because a few details are not accurate. It is also hard for the drawer to know what emotions the person was feeling at the time they were experiencing this event, which could pose a problem when trying to make the story emotionally accurate. However, the drawer can have a very easy time making the story interesting and intriguing because they can choose what points of the story the want to emphasize. They can also exaggerate other "scenes" of the story to make them more intense and dramatic. This can help to capture the readers attention even if it makes the story not one-hundred percent accurate.
