The research investigates the role of telling stories and the language of the challenges of contemporary storytelling and writing. The topic is discussed within Stuart Hall's Cultural Learning Theory. The purpose of this research is to examine the ways in which storytelling techniques interact with the power structures within the cultural structure and how they change with respect to cultural and social phenomena in particular in examining their application in the story "Boys Will Be Boys." .."Stuart Hall's theories suggests that storytelling and the usage of language aren't only essential to the development of communities' identities and for individuals. They also function as powerful tools to engage with the process of rethinking and altering the normative way of living. Focusing on the interaction with characters, as well as using storytelling strategies, this study explores the methods by which these elements help characters overcome storytelling's power and gain individuality when in conflict.
