Looking back to my initial question regarding the parable readings in this unit, after listening to the lectures and thinking through my questions, I am beginning to rethink my position. At first, when I examined the parables, I believed that each parable did not contain all the elements of story. For instance, the parable of the lamp, initially, I did not believe contained an antagonist and other variouskey concepts of storytelling; however, Alec, a student in our class, pointed out that the…

immerses the reader into the narrative, without giving a setting or narrative voice. Since the voice of the protagonist is absent from the opening it brings into question who the imperative is addressing, and could suggests a possible disassociation of Berg (the protagonist) from himself, or the narrative. The use of adjectives “embalmed” “mummified” before clarifying what the object of these adjectives is, creates a foreboding undertone, , and mystifies the narrative. This choice of adjectives…

film we've already seen Butch murder Vincent, so for them to circle back and continue Vincent's would be jarring, but due to the fact that we're picking up from an already familiar point makes the jump back in time fluent, and adds to the circular narrative Tarantino was attempting to create. When an audience watches a film, they assume that it will follow basic editing conventions and that any call back to a previous point in the film will be to explain something that's just happened. However,…

literary techniques help shape the struggle both authors present between the inner world of the imagination and the outer world of social life. Narrative control identifies the focus of subjective perspective through free indirect thought.

However, a shot is merely the smallest unit of a film which guides the audience’s attention (Smith, quoted in Cutting et al. 2010) and it does not represent the complete narrative. What will ultimately decide a film’s narrative structure and in the process, the context of each shot in relation to each other, is the editing. In filmmaking, editing refers to the process of assembling together shots to create a coherent sequence through which the film’s narrative is told.…

Realism subscribes to a more narrative, social based ideology while Formalism believes that the art of cinema comes from the mastery of technical aspects. Within these two kinds of filmmaking, many theorists have emerged including Bazin, who had a humanist approach to film. Formalism on the other hand, is the theory that the technical aspects of film are meant to create the world the audience is seeing, thus making it more impactful and more artful than the narrative attached to it. I align…

head, but I was exactly sure how to cause all the pieces to fit together to replicate that image. English composition has taught me the necessary mechanics to complete this writing puzzle. The creation of a thesis statement, the difference between narrative and persuasive essays, and organization are the elements of the puzzle which have assisted my growth as an academic writer during this…

According to our textbook there are five features that make up good narrative writing which are the following a clear context, well-chosen and thoughtfully emphasized details; logical organization; a consistent point of view; and a meaningful purpose. Michael Dirda the author of the narrative essay “Listening to My Father” follows all of these rules. Dirda clearly expresses the context of his narrative he states who the story is about which is him and his father where it took place which was his…

analyze the piece from a storytelling perspective. For example, the messages of songs without lyrics are understandably harder to interpret. Looking at music from that perspective shows how music can be identified as a narrative. A theory developed by Walter Fisher called narrative paradigm explains that all communication is a form of storytelling. In each story, there is a beginning, middle and end, conflicts, and eventually resolution. The fidelity and coherence of each story is what keeps it…
