Storytelling by Race

I was thinking about what types of books, shows and movies each race would enjoy the most. This also includes poetry, journalism, academic works, etc. This is what I came up with:<br /><br /><b>Dralasites</b><br />Most other races would find their favorite movies boring and comically stupid. There is little or no action, and void of any romance or pathos. Much of the drama would be about conflicting ideas and finding a resolution it, or finding philosophical fulfillment. I most cases, visual art intermixes with the written work, that requires an understanding of both to comprehend the entirety of the work. One form of Dralasite storytelling deals with highly complex ideas conveyed though talking animals and moving objects. These stories tend to be too complex to the other races, but they have become highly popular among Human preschoolers.<br /><br /><b>S'sussu</b><br />No mater what the genre is, their movies always focus on personal achievement and gaining the upper hand on all others. Emotion, morality and prose are all absent, and tends to be too dry for most other races to get into. The individualistic nature is also off-putting to Vrusks.<br /><br /><b>Vrusk</b><br />Their movies tend to come off as long, slow-paced documentaries to other races. Such stores tent to focus on an organized body - government, corporation, etc. - then a single person or a small gang. Such cast could easily be in the hundreds, with no real focus on any. Humans may enjoy them for educational reasons, but many could become overwhelmed by the large cast, or all the small social queue that only Vrusks would pickup offhand. Their stores can easily suffer form blatant corporate bias, and an obsession on Vrusk aesthetics through prose or too much set decoration.<br /><br /><b>Yazirian</b><br />Regardless of the genre, their stories focus on a protagonist and antagonist - be it an action story with a hero and villain, to a medical drama with a researcher fighting a mysterious epidemic - usually in keeping to their nature. Although they could enjoy the latter, they usually the former. Like humans, they share a natural propensity to create and idealize powerful, larger-then-life figures, like mythological heroes, costumed superheros and over-the-top action movie stars. This trait is absent with the other races. As noted, the only other race that could relate to their stores are Humans, and even still, Humans don't always take their works too seriously. To Humans, their sense of romances comes off like an <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BTuR1DgY3lw/TeoRt-xdrfI/AAAAAAAAD0w/EUZ_x1WNS… Man</a> ad, and the hero's motives tend to come off as self-righteous or egotistical.<br /><br /><b>Humans</b><br />Although they have the widest forms of storytelling, they value emotion, moral justification, conflict and final resolution above all other concepts. The heterogeneous nature of humanity has allowed for a number of writers/poets/journalists/etc. to find a place in non-human circles. It is not unusual for a human artist to create a work of abstract art that would motivate Dralasites to endless debates over its meaning. Or a book writer, that produce long-running series about a pan-national conflict that was looked over by most humans, but quickly became popular among Vrusk readers.<br /><br />So have anyone else though about how they convey stores?
