Just thinking about the writing part of it, think about how boring it would be if your essay read like the following.

"I had a conversation with my brother about why he broke the lamp and I forgave him."

Versus:

"Hey Mark, did you break the lamp?"
"Yeah."
"It's all right. I forgive you."


Stupid example, but I think you can see that the second method is much more engaging than the first.
