'Bob And Regan's Narration In Creating Atmosphere'

During the second session, the family was provided individual opportunities to relate his or her perceptions of the struggles in the family. Using Claudia as the identified patient, the family related struggles directly associated with Claudia’s behavior (Nichols, 2013, p. 15). Whitaker (1978) conceptualized the issues in a different perspective stating, “sounds like Claudia is in charge of getting Mom and Dad to start fighting, and you and Laura are in charge of helping them stop” (p. 11). Whitaker also indicated the parallels involving Carolyn’s anger at Claudia for hiding in her room and David’s propensity to hide in his study (p. 11). Using the unconscious frame of reference from session one, another conceptualization that was presented was that of Don’s willingness to talk as the reason that the family had not wanted to bring him to the first session (p. 12).

A good writer knows, at least a little, about how sentences work. A good writer can carry on a story without boring a reader. A good writer knows when to stop a bad idea, and how to create a great one. A good writer knows how to make their story work effectively in the reader’s mind.

The narrative allows the readers to delve into the minds of the characters, and feel empathy. Either in indirect style or, quite frequently, in free indirect style reduces the distance between the reader and the characters. The reader is placed within the characters' mind.

In life, we don’t think about the importance of conversing. But without it, think about how hard it would be to communicate to each other. In the story Trapped by Michael Northrop, the author uses dialogue to set up the problem. Without the characters communicating to each other, really there would be no story. I mean, yes a story doesn’t have to have dialogue, but it won’t keep moving. We won’t hear from other characters at all. And for setting up the problem in Trapped the characters communicate a lot about what to do, since there’s seven teenages with no adults trapped in a school. They speak a lot to each other to address the problem. In Trapped by Michael Northrop, the author uses description, actions, and dialogue to set up the problem.

Characters without believable attributes are like bread without salt. The attributes, like salt, bring life and flavor; without them, it is tasteless. In “Painted Ocean, Painted Ship”, Rebecca Makkai uses dialogue, descriptions, and a third-person limited narrator to create the main character, Alex Moore. Aspiring writers, like me, can learn much from Makkai’s attention to detail, when creating characters.

I feel if there was no dialogue between characters, the story would be bland and

Gemma’s journey also has similarities to the children’s book, Unhooking the Moon, (Hughes, 2010). Like Burgess, the author writes with relativity to his own backstory, Hughes opposed authority by stealing and shoplifting. The protagonists also set off on a journey which entails death, violence and survival. The tone of the narration which accompanies the story is another attempt at underplaying opposition of authority through a flippancy of tone to emphasize strong subject matter to the reader. Even though Unhooking the Moon is fictional, Hughes manages to deal with previously forbidden topics, such as paedophilia.

After the first few pages of any story, do you find yourself asking, who are you? Why are you telling me this? What is your purpose? If you don’t ask yourself these questions now, you should definitely start asking the next time you have a fiction story to read. Analyzing the stories narrator helps the reader gain a greater perceptive and understanding of the story as a whole. The narrator's dialogue can offer insight of the gender, age, social class, and even race of the characters in the story. The narrator gives the reader clues about characters, their personalities, the setting, and the meaning of the story.  It is important to pay attention and identify what type of narration the story is, first person, second person, third person, is it limited, or even implied author. The narrator is central to understanding the events and the essentials of the story. The author has a reason for the way the narrator is set up, it is our job as the reader to figure out why and what makes the narrator important.

Every writer in existence has used language at some point in their lives, from infancy to adulthood. But, there is a much larger reason every writer writes at all. These writers use language to inspire people to act differently, or think differently based on the lessons there characters learned in their writing. These lessons are suppose to be the writer's way of conveying what they want to aspire people to possibly accomplish.

This cast of characters also provides insight to the environment and mood of the moment. Often, dialogue is used as a means of advancing the plot, instead of narration or revelations from the minds of characters. Dialogue in this book can go on for pages at a time, varying from conversations with key phrases necessary to the plot, to pages of banter between Dunbar and Yossarian messing with someone in a hospital ward.

For example, in the beginning, there's a part where Cason throws Jessalyn in his pool, the author describes everything happening , she includes the details of how she sees it and how Jessalyn feels. There is also another chapter where Jessalyn is worried about getting in trouble for ditching school with Cason. The author really describes how her body is feeling, the thoughts running through her head, what she's seeing, and how her mom is acting. This helps the reader imagine the scene and understand the book

The family’s emotions leads them to act in a certain way in this quote and throughout the story. ONE MORE

By writing experiences down, authors are not only able to relive the feeling for themselves, but they are also able to take their readers into another world. This is true of fiction, too. Authors are able to create a story in their head and tell it to readers just as they imagined. Reading takes audiences into worlds they would never otherwise see and teach them about it.

I found that I savor scenes where the characters communicate with each other because it unveils the personality the author has chosen to give the character. Furthermore, you discover what causes a character to become upset and the feelings they have towards each other. Through conversation the ability to contrast characters’ thoughts verses their words and actions to predict what may happen next also comes through their conversations with one another. Your experience in life is what shapes your wisdom, it is why they say the old is always the wisest.

It did not exactly hurt her in the way it might for another, it made curiosity coarse through her veins. She looked between Mr. Linden, moving toward her with cautious movements as one might do with a frightened animal and back down to the sleek cover of the book. There was not a speck of dust on the book, a large difference to the others in the room as if it had been cleaned each day. Her thoughts began to roll like thunder in her mind, the loudest screaming a chorus of ‘why?’.
