Task 9 narrative structures and componants
The document discusses the narrative structure and components of a children's book. The book has a closed narrative that reaches a conclusion, follows a single storyline, and presents events in chronological order. It is considered anti-realist as it features animals conversing and driving cars on the moon. The book includes an opening, conflict between characters, resolution, mystery through a lost spare tire, and climax when the tire is found. It also features some manipulation of space and time as the character searches for the tire.

The document discusses using natural language processing (NLP) techniques for creative purposes like poetry generation, rather than just realistic language modeling. It provides examples of simple techniques like shuffling phrases to generate nonsense text, as well as more complex methods like using WordNet relations or Markov chains with lexical categories. However, it notes limitations like a lack of surprising word associations and questions how interactive or realistic an NLP-based poetry remixer would need to be.

3. To conclude, volunteers will read their original "I Am" poems aloud to the class.
The Reasons For Love Rubem Alves
1) Love does not have reasons according to mystics like Angelus Silésius, who compared love to a rose that blossoms simply because it blossoms.
2) However, the author argues that while the heart's reasons for love may be unknown, it does have reasons written in a language we don't understand.
3) Analyzing love reveals that what we truly love is something beyond the beloved - they are merely a symbol or metaphor for an "obscure object of desire" we glimpse in their face. Love is born and lives through the poetic images and metaphors the lover associates with the beloved.

Metaphors
Metaphors are comparisons between two unlike things that help readers understand something in a new way. Metaphors state that one thing "is" the other rather than using "like" or "as", and can make readers picture or imagine something differently than its literal meaning. Metaphors bring writing to life and allow for creativity by letting readers experience things from a new perspective.

It provides context on the definition and origins of stream of consciousness as a literary technique pioneered by writers like Woolf and Joyce. The document then examines several examples of stream of consciousness passages from To the Lighthouse, noting Woolf's use of focalization on inner thoughts with no clear narrative structure, informal language, and interconnecting sentences to represent the flow of a character's thoughts. Key characters like Mrs. Ramsay and Lily Briscoe are analyzed for how their thoughts are revealed through this technique.
stream of consciousness
1) Stream of consciousness is a narrative technique that aims to reproduce a character's mental processes without narration, including thoughts, feelings, and memories flowing freely.
2) The document discusses different types of stream of consciousness narratives like interior monologue, which presents a character's unspoken thoughts, and direct interior monologue, where the author directly presents a character's consciousness.
3) As an example, the document analyzes Virginia Woolf's use of stream of consciousness in her novel To the Lighthouse, where she shifts between characters' perspectives to capture their inner experiences.

Rabindranath Tagore 2
Rabindranath Tagore 2Trinity Blu*** Don't Thank Me for Viewing Shows....but Rather, Pay It Forward :))***
This poem expresses the longing of a child to connect with and understand the natural world, specifically a large banyan tree near a pond. The child watches the tree's tangled roots plunging underground, its huge shadow writhing on the water's surface, and sunlight dancing on the ripples. The child wishes to experience being the wind in the tree's branches, its lengthening shadow, a bird perched on its twigs, or ducks floating among weeds and shadows. The poem evokes a sense of childhood wonder at nature.Poetry's Power
This document discusses the three characteristics that make poetry powerful: intensity, precision, and concision. It provides examples to illustrate each characteristic and examines poems to identify which characteristics they demonstrate. Students are tasked with analyzing poems to determine which of the three characteristics are evident in each one. The lesson concludes by challenging students to identify poetic language in everyday situations.
Thesis
This document presents a hypothesis that written text can imply a "design system" comprising visual elements that substantiate the internal thought processes that occur during reading. This is contrasted with other forms of story visualization like movies and comics which are character-centric rather than focused on designed background elements ("touchpoints"). The hypothesis is that applying this "design-system" of textual cues allows the text to be experienced in a more sensory, direct manner. The document outlines an experiment where participants found a text incorporating descriptive touchpoints more enjoyable to read than a simplified version. It proposes potential projects to further explore expressing design elements within written stories.
Summer farm
1) The poem describes the narrator lying in the grass on a summer farm, observing his surroundings in vivid detail.
2) This leads the narrator to contemplative thoughts about the nature of time and self.
3) In the final stanza, the narrator envisions lifting "the farm like a lid" to see multiple versions of himself and the farm across time, representing the metaphysical idea that the present self is just one perspective among many.
Stream of consciousness
The document discusses Virginia Woolf's use of stream of consciousness as a literary technique in her novel "To The Lighthouse." It provides examples from the novel to illustrate key aspects of stream of consciousness, such as having no first person narrator but presenting thoughts and feelings figurally through various characters. The text also examines Woolf's distinctive approach of integrating characters' present impressions with memories from the past. While stream of consciousness allows for a rich exploration of the inner worlds and changing perspectives of characters, it results in a plot that is less conventional and linear.
Diction and Syntax in Murakami's 'The Elephant Vanishes'
1) The author analyzes Haruki Murakami's use of diction and syntax in the short story "The Elephant Vanishes."
2) Murakami uses short, concise syntax and diction to characterize the protagonist's structured, analytical life, contrasting that with flowing descriptions of the elephant and its keeper.
3) This craft choice conveys that the protagonist feels freer and less restricted while observing the elephant, but reverts to his confined self after it disappears, showing his lack of meaningful relationships.

Symbolism and setting are key elements of the structure. Weather, the willow tree, and kites are symbolic. Shifts between childhood in Afghanistan and present-day America impact the narrative.
The language uses simple sentences, repetition, metaphors, and anthropomorphism to convey meaning and emotion. Character

Narrative evaluation scott wilson
The narrative is linear, following the characters from being friends to having a falling out and racing to determine who is best. It is a closed narrative that does not continue into further stories. The narrative has a single strand that follows a simple storyline of the race between the characters to keep it easy for children to understand. It uses an anti-realist narrative as the story is set in the ocean with creatures racing, which does not reflect realistic elements.
