Class debate: Do lists challenge the continuity of narrative structures?

By definition a list has no ’cause and effect’ change. We have no continuity within it. There’s no sense of causal logic. It’s categorical. We cluster things based on certain similar characteristics.. there is no continuity in that. We do not need narrative as much as we tend to think we do. We can still offer insight into new aspects of the world through a calculated use of categories.
