Some notes.

Part of the purpose of this blog is to examine elements of narrative, especially those that could be used outside of a traditional storytelling setting. I’m going to look over my notes and write down some of the elements I hope to explore in greater depth in the future. As I write stuff in the future, I’ll try to link it here.
- Foreshadowing
- Paralipsis – literary white space
- Parallels
- Personification
- Anthropomorphism
- Simile
- Synaesthesia
- Trope
- Anagnorisis
- In media res – which I have explored somewhat, but deserves further examination.
- Irony
- Archetypes
- Motifs
- Themes
- Tones
- Myths
- Plot – also touched upon, but clearly in need of much more examination.
- Points Of View vs different type of film shots
- Unreliable narration
- Cacophony
- Metaphor
- Characters and all their sub-elements
- diegetic vs extradiegetic / nondiegetic
- Structures
- Exposition
- Suspension of disbelief
- Details
- Flashbacks / Flashfowards
- And more as I think of them.
Not much of a post I know, but I feel a need to step back for a moment.
Do you have the links still? I’m desperate for I need to finish a project for English
