4. STORY TELLING

5. WHY IT IS MYSTERIOUS
● STORY IS MUCH ABOUT THE AUDIENCE THAN THE
CHARACTERS WITH PLOT AND ITS MORE ABOUT
THE STORY TELLER.

6. WHO WRITES IT ALL ??
● ITS THE WRITERS.
● THEY PRESENT THIER SOUL ONTO A PAPER FOR
US TO READ.

7. WHAT WRITERS NEED TO BE !!
● THEY DONOT LET THE READERS BE SURE ABOUT
THE PLOT, THEY TRY TO MANIPULATE THEIR MINDS
AND PRESENT SOMETHING MORE INTERESTING.
THEY TITILATES THE AUDIENCE AND THEN KNOCKS
THEM OUT.

8. GEORGE ORWELL
“ POLITICAL LANGUAGE IS DESIGNED TO MAKE LIES
SOUND TRUTHFUL AND MURDER RESPECTABLE AND
TO GIVE AN APPEARANCE OF SOLIDITY TO PURE
WIND.”

9. FOUR GREAT MOTIVES FOR WRITING
Sheer egoismSheer egoism
● "desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be
remembered after death, to get your own back on grown-
ups in childhood, etc." Serious writers are vainer than
journalists, though "less interested in money".

"pleasure in the impact of one sound on another, in the
firmness of good prose or the rhythm of a good story."

and store them up for the use of posterity."
