Discussion - Week 3
Elements of the Craft of Writing
The narrator's point of view is the reader's window into the soul of your story. Combined with the tone of voice, characterization, and dialogue, these elements of the craft of writing give your story believability and interest. How can you combine the elements of the craft with the elements of the short story and the techniques of development you learned about in Weeks 1 and 2? In this Discussion, you will understand point of view, tone of voice, characterization, and dialogue and examine how other writers use these elements of craft to improve their work.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the assigned portions of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 7 in Shaping the Story.
Review "Revelation" by Flannery O’Connor, "Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros, and "Why I Like Country Music" by James Alan McPherson in Shaping the Story.
Reflect on the voice in the assigned stories.
How would you describe the voice in each short story?
How do these voices demonstrate what the authors are saying about the main issues of each story?
Reflect on the similarities and differences in the ways that the authors use dialogue to establish character presence.
Consider the issues that each story discusses. How do these issues shape the characters and affect the light in which they are seen at the beginning and the end of the story?
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3
: 2 to 3 paragraphs comparing and contrasting different approaches to two of the following elements in two of the three stories in the Week 3 reading.. Be sure to cite at least two specific examples from your readings.
Point of View
Tone of Voice
Characterization
Dialogue
Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week's Learning Resources, or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
Read
a selection of your colleagues' postings.
Respond by Day 5

Ask a probing question.
Share an insight from having read your colleague's posting.
Offer and support an opinion.
Validate an idea with your own experience.

Tips for the week 3 discussion (read before you post)
COLLAPSE
Great job so far, class! I've really enjoyed your first two weeks of discussion posts.
Now we will shift our focus to even more tools we can use in our own stories, but first, we will see how they play out in the work of others.
Make sure you do all the readings for the week before posting anything, and also, go through and ask yourselves all the questions (above) from the
"to prepare for the discussion"
section of the instructions. I.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

what the examiner is looking for!

to respond to question 2,
How does the article convey the writer’s
viewpoint and ideas ?
12. The purpose of this article is to argue the writer’s strong
opinions about the threat of extinction of various species of
animal. Clarkson has a rather argumentative and sarcastic
tone revealed in language such as ‘Eco-mentalists’. This
play on words displays his contempt for eco-friendly
campaigners who would fight to save whole species such as
the tiger.
He uses images of the tiger to reflect his thoughts that these
animals do not need any further help from humans as there
are still plenty of tigers in the west to keep them from
extinction. The images show the tiger as a strong, powerful
creature in its natural habitat which supports Clarkson’s
view that these animals are strong enough to survive
without us.
The heading uses a colloquial phrase which again displays
Clarkson’s contempt of the conservationists argument and
fight to stop poachers from killing off these creatures, ‘Stuff
the tiger – long live extinction’ is very controversial and
emotive and will engage all types of readers who will
probably be angered by his attitude.
13. Quick draw…

and TONE

by…
A controversial tone is conveyed
The purpose is to entertain conveyed through
the humorous and light hearted language…
17. Your turn…
Question 3
How does Clarkson convey his strong thoughts and
feelings about the extinction of species?
• Look for two/three phrases that show this article is…
• argumentative
• Controversial
• Emotive
18. The article is controversial because Clarkson states that
the ‘only creatures that matter are those in our social
group’. This will make a lot of people, especially
conservationists, angry and they will want to argue
back. Clarkson is deliberately using language to create
a response from the reader to think about
conservation and what they believe to be right.
He uses phrases such as ‘Eco-mentalists’ and ‘there’s an
awful lot of sentimentality around the concept of
extinction’ which makes fun of people concerned with
the environment and which will anger those who feel
extinction of a whole species is a dreadful thing.
