The document discusses different types of narrative structures that can be used in stories. It provides examples of a linear narrative structure found in "It's a Wonderful Life" and a non-linear structure in "Pulp Fiction." The story described follows a single storyline, or strand, and has a closed narrative with a conclusion rather than an open-ended one. While grounded in reality rather than fantasy, it manipulates time and space similar to the film "Hot Fuzz," which condenses a long travel time.

Narrative structure
The document discusses the narrative structure of the story "The Story that Never Ends". It has a linear structure that starts at the beginning and ends at the end. It is a closed narrative with a conclusion, as opposed to open-ended stories that set up future installments. It follows a single story line rather than multiple parallel plots. While it manipulates time and space within a short page count, the narrative is realistic rather than fantastical, with no supernatural or mythical elements. In summary, it has a simple, linear structure with a single resolved plot line and a realistic rather than fantastical setting.

This document discusses empathic archaeology and different ways to connect with and understand prehistoric cultures. It explores telling the stories and profiles of prehistoric people to gain insight into their lives. However, it also notes the limitations, as true empathy is not possible across such vast distances of time, and stories always have an element of interpretation. A few methods are proposed, like experiencing prehistory through childrens books, movies, or experimental archaeology and reenactments. But the document also acknowledges the scientific debate and multi-disciplinary research needed to balance empathy with facts.
The Theory of Story Telling applied to my book
1) The document discusses Vladimir Propp's theory of character types in folktales and analyzes how it applies to the story of Perseus.
2) It finds that the story contains four of Propp's eight character types - Perseus as the hero, King Polydectes as both the villain and dispatcher, Danae as the prize, and three gods as donors.
3) The analysis also examines the story's structure according to Propp's theories of equilibrium stages and narrative patterns. It finds the story follows a three-stage equilibrium pattern and is a closed, single-strand, linear narrative.

Irony
Irony is a stylistic device where the contextual meaning of a word or situation is opposite to its literal meaning. There are two main types: verbal irony, where a single word is used with the opposite meaning, and sustained irony, where the irony is felt throughout a larger text or work. Examples of verbal irony include saying something is "nice" when it is unpleasant, while sustained irony could be seen in a character who presents as gentle but is actually manipulative.
Report cask of amontillado
Montresor lures his acquaintance Fortunato to his vault under the guise of sharing a rare cask of amontillado wine. He leads Fortunato deeper into the vaults, where he chains and walls up Fortunato as revenge for some past insult.

The story is an example of Gothic fiction and a cautionary tale about the dark forces that can drive human behavior.
A Modern Day Poe Essay
The document compares the writing styles of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King. It argues that King can be considered a "modern day Poe" due to their similar use of descriptive details, manipulation of fear, and leaving aspects unknown until the end to keep readers engaged.

Presenter: Benjamin Hersh, Design Lead, Medium
We often think of design as a visual discipline, but what makes a product connect with its audience is often how you write it. We don’t ordinarily talk about ‘writing’ products, but this is absolutely what we do — from buttons, to pushes, to verbal interfaces. For those of us who design and develop products for a living, writing is fast becoming a survival skill. Designing with language requires a different mindset, and forces us to break familiar habits. This talk looks to cognitive science, the art of copywriting, and my experiences at Medium, where my team cultivates relationships with readers like you. It’s about the bigger picture that we often miss, when copy becomes the heart of product design.Life Lessons with Grandma Hood
Grandma Hood tells the story of how she saved Little Red Riding Hood from the Big Bad Wolf. She was sick in bed when an unexpected knock came at the door. It was the Big Bad Wolf dressed in Grandma's clothes, trying to lure Little Red into his trap. Grandma jumped out of the cupboard with her trusty shotgun and shot the wolf dead. However, it wasn't wolf season so they came up with the classic version of the story to avoid trouble. Grandma teaches Little Red the lesson to never leave home without a way to protect herself.
3 monologue-parallelplot-parody
The document discusses three literary devices:
1) A monologue is a speech given by one character, exemplified by Kate's speech in Act V of The Taming of the Shrew.
2) A parallel plot is a secondary storyline in a work that is linked to the main plot, often through a character or theme, like multiple interconnecting storylines in a soap opera.
3) A parody imitates and ridicules an original work in a comic way, such as Saturday Night Live sketches that parody popular culture or political campaigns.
Reading Queneau Reading Nabokov
This document discusses potential approaches to analyzing and interpreting the works of Vladimir Nabokov through a digital lens. It proposes using constrained writing techniques like N+7, which replaces every 7th word in a text with the 7th next word in a dictionary, to generate new texts from Nabokov's works. It also discusses "deformative reading" which puts the reader in a unique relationship with the text by suspending typical reading rules. Some example deformative readings generated through N+7 are provided for passages from Lolita and Pale Fire. The document suggests these techniques could provide new interpretive insights into questions around Nabokov's works.
Narrative theory
The narrative is linear, closed, and has a single story line. It follows the protagonist from beginning to end without flashbacks or jumps in time. The story ends when the conflict is resolved and the protagonist is safe. It only has one main plot line rather than multiple interweaving plots. The narrative is also non-realistic, set in space with the characters being a space dragon and giant space crab, making it a fantasy/sci-fi genre rather than realistic. It includes the standard components of an opening, conflict, and resolution.
Book evaluation
The document analyzes the story elements in the author's book, including:
- The story is linear with a single narrative strand and closed ending.
- Events in the story are anti-realist/unrealistic, such as a witch possessing magic powers.
- There is no manipulation of time or space in the story.
- The main conflict arises from the introduction of an antagonist witch.
- The resolution shows the character Barky continuing the search for Little Brown Wolf.
- An enigma is that the story acts as a prequel revealed to link to Little Red Riding Hood.
- The climax occurs when Little Brown Wolf is trapped by the witch.
Narrative structures
The document discusses different types of narratives that could be used in a children's book. It states that the book uses a closed narrative structure, meaning it has a clear beginning, middle, and end. It also uses a single, linear storyline that progresses sequentially from start to finish without diversion, to make it easier for children to follow. While some books use more complex multi-strand or non-linear narratives, the focus here is on a simple structure for a young audience. Finally, it notes the book has an anti-realist narrative, involving imaginary characters and locations rather than realistic settings and events that could occur in real life.

Evaluation
This document provides an analysis of the narrative structure and components of the author's story for children. It begins by stating the story has an open narrative without a conclusion. It then analyzes the story's linear structure with a single storyline, compared to examples like Game of Thrones with multiple storylines. Components like an opening, conflict, climax, and resolution are discussed. Examples are given of closed versus open narratives, realist versus anti-realist, and linear versus non-linear structures. In conclusion, it states the author's story includes an opening, conflict, climax, and open-ended resolution.
Narrative structures
The document discusses the narrative structure and elements used in the author's children's book. It describes the book as having a closed, linear narrative with a single storyline. It is an anti-realist narrative, featuring unlikely characters and locations rather than realistic reflections of life. The opening immediately sets the tone and pace, and there is a brief conflict with a giant that is quickly resolved without a major climax at the end.
Narrative structure
The document discusses the structure of the story "My Story" across five paragraphs. It follows a closed structure with a conclusion, a single strand storyline with one main plot and no side stories, a linear sequence of events with no flashbacks or flashforwards, and is anti-realist with fantastical elements like space travel and talking animals that could not realistically occur.
Narrative structure
There are several types of narrative structures that can be used to tell a story. A closed narrative is one that reaches a conclusion, like most films, while an open narrative does not conclude and continues indefinitely, like soap operas. Narratives can also be single-stranded, focusing on one storyline, or multi-stranded, featuring multiple interconnected storylines. Additionally, narratives are either linear, unfolding chronologically from beginning to end, or non-linear, using techniques like flashbacks to jump around in time. Realist narratives reflect real-life possibilities, while anti-realist narratives involve fantasy elements not grounded in reality, such as stories with magical creatures. Key components of narratives include an opening, conflict, resolution
Narrative structure
The document discusses different types of narrative structures that can be used in stories:
- Closed narratives tell a complete story in one sitting with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Most films use this structure. The children's book being discussed is an example of a closed narrative.
- Single-strand narratives focus on a single plot line without secondary subplots. Children's books typically use this simpler structure. The book in question follows a single character throughout.
- Linear narratives present events in chronological order as they happened. This is a common structure that would not confuse children. The book follows Lucas' experiences sequentially.
- Realist narratives could feasibly happen and do not include fantastical elements
Narrative theory
The document discusses different types of narrative structures and theories that can be used in storytelling. It notes that the author's story uses a closed, single-strand, linear narrative structure with some semi-realistic and anti-realistic elements. The story will have an opening, conflict, and resolution, but no flashbacks or nonlinear elements. This type of straightforward narrative structure is best suited to the author's intended younger audience.
Evaluation
The document summarizes the narrative structure and components of a story. It has a linear structure that follows chronological order without flashbacks. It has a closed story with a conclusion. The story focuses on a single strand storyline about a bear and monkey to keep it simple for young readers. The events in the story are unlikely to happen in real life, giving it an anti-realist storyline that uses a child's imagination. The key components are an opening to introduce characters, a conflict around trading bananas for seeds, and a resolution where the bear and monkey learn to share.
Narrative theory
My story has a linear structure that follows a chronological order from beginning to end without flashbacks or flashforwards. It has a closed storyline with a conclusion that does not continue like a soap opera. The story focuses on one main plotline between a bear and monkey, keeping it simple for young readers. The unlikely events mean it has an anti-realist storyline that encourages children's imagination over realism.
Book evaluation
The document analyzes the story elements in a children's book about a wolf named Barky searching for her cousin Little Brown Wolf. It discusses how the story has a linear narrative, closed ending, single narrative strand, anti-realist elements involving magic, and does not manipulate time or space. It also provides examples of how the story opens, establishes conflict with the introduction of a witch antagonist, resolves with Barky continuing the search, includes an enigma by being a prequel to Little Red Riding Hood, and climaxes when Little Brown Wolf is trapped by the witch.
Narrative structure
The document discusses different types of narrative structures and styles that can be used in storytelling. It notes that the author's story uses a closed, single-strand, linear narrative structure. While some elements are realistic like the human characters, it is mostly anti-realistic with magical elements like magic beans, giants, and enchanted animals. The narrative follows typical story structures with an opening, conflict, and resolution.
Narrative structures
The document discusses different types of narrative structures that can be used in stories. It describes open narratives that end in cliffhangers, close narratives that have conclusions, single strand narratives that have a single storyline, and multi-strand narratives that have multiple concurrent storylines. It also outlines linear narratives that progress without interruptions, non-linear narratives that jump between past and present, realist narratives that could occur in real life, and anti-realist narratives involving elements like magic. Additionally, it defines common narrative components like openings, conflicts, resolutions, enigmas, climaxes, and the manipulation of time and space.
Narrative structures Lewis Hill
The document discusses different types of narrative structures and components that make up stories. It analyzes the narrative of the author's book, identifying it as having an open narrative structure that follows a single, linear storyline. While the story has conflict between a penguin and polar bear, it lacks an enigma. It ends with the penguins escaping the burning ship, but the polar bear vows to return, leaving the narrative open-ended. The book is classified as non-realistic due to improbable events like a polar bear becoming a pirate.
Narrative structure theory
The document discusses different types of narrative structures that can be used in graphic narratives. It describes open narratives as having no definite conclusion and being open-ended, while closed narratives tie up the story with a clear ending. Single strand narratives follow one character's storyline without subplots, while multi-strand narratives feature multiple interconnecting storylines. Linear narratives present the plot chronologically, whereas non-linear narratives jump around in time. Realist narratives are realistic reflections of real-world events, and anti-realist narratives involve fantasy elements not found in reality.
Narrative Theory
This document discusses narrative structure and components. It explains that narratives can be linear or non-linear, open or closed, and have single or multiple storylines. Linear narratives present events chronologically while non-linear narratives use time jumps. Open narratives have no clear ending while closed narratives reach a resolution. Single strand narratives follow one storyline while multi-strand narratives incorporate several interconnected storylines. Narratives can also be classified as realist, reflecting real life, or anti-realist, featuring unlikely events. Key narrative components include an opening to set the scene, conflict to propel the plot forward, and a resolution to conclude the story.

The document discusses different types of narrative structures that could be used in storytelling. It analyzes the narrative structure of the author's story, identifying it as a linear structure that follows a single storyline from beginning to end. It also notes that the story uses a closed structure that reaches a conclusion, and can be considered anti-realistic as it involves talking penguins living in Antarctica.
Evaluation
The document discusses the narrative structure of the author's story. It is a closed story with a conclusion, though some additional stories of the main character could follow. The story follows a single, linear narrative thread with one small flashback. It manipulates time by jumping 40 years between two pages. The opening quickly sets the scene like many children's books. The conflict is a building catching fire, and the resolution shows the main character living happily with the villagers.
Evaluation task 2
This document discusses different types of narrative structures that can be used in graphic narratives. It identifies open and closed structures, with closed narratives concluding all storylines while open narratives continue on. It also outlines single strand narratives that follow one storyline versus multi-strand narratives that switch between multiple storylines. Additionally, it examines linear narratives that follow a chronological order versus non-linear narratives that use techniques like flashbacks. Finally, it distinguishes realist narratives that could occur in real life from anti-realist narratives involving impossible elements.

Natural birth techniques are various type such as/ water birth , alexender method, hypnosis, bradley method, lamaze method etcLAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Narrative structure
- 1. Narrative Structure My story is called The Story that Never Ends and it follows a linear structure because it starts at the beginning and it finishes at the end. It’s a Wonderful Life would be an example. A non linear structure however can be found in films such as Pulp Fiction where there are a lot of story lines going on at once. My story is a closed narrative because it has a conclusion and it doesn’t leave things open for new stories to be told. The opposite of this however can be found in film series such as Marvel and DC cinematic universe because their films always leave things open for future installments. It follows a single strand because it follows just one story line involving the shepherd and his sheep. The opposite however would be multiple strands where different stories are going on at the same time. This can be found in many TV shows or soap operas where theirs subplots going in each episode. But they always have a resolution. My story is more of a realist narrative because there isn’t anything supernatural or mythical. It is grounded in reality. The opposite of this however is anti-realist where the narrative involves things that wouldn’t ever happen. A Primary example would be the Lord of the Rings trilogy where it involves dragons, dwarves and magic. One of the narrative components I used for my story was the manipulation of time and space. The story takes place throughout and entire day in just 8 pages and I have condensed the time in my book by having the book start in the morning, jump through time through each couple of pages as the sheep cross the bridge leading up to the end where the sheep cross the bridge and its night. An example
- 2. of this being done somewhere else would be the action comedy Hot Fuzz where there is a scene where a character travels for coupe of hours to where he wants to be that time is condensed using jump cuts.
