The main idea of this reading is to learn to tell your story with certain words or ideas that will provoke the reader’s imagination. You need to use concrete words that will put an image into the reader’s head while they are reading, basically causing them to relate and understand better. There are two kinds of words to use, revelatory, and memory-soaked words. Revelatory words are words that associate with telling you the lifestyle, beliefs, values, etc. Memory-soaked words are words that will cause you to think about a whole chain reaction of events. They cause you to think of other ideas, emotions, and memories in a particular area. Nobody wants to read a story that is bland and straight to the point. Those “boring” details will make up the body of your story. I plan to use the Ladder of Abstraction to help my paper. I will make a list of events that I want to implement into the story, and then list the details and feelings that would associate with those events and how I would include them. It will help to know what I am trying to convey and plan out how to put that into my paper before I start, that way I know before hand.
