Sometimes we may forget, or maybe some of you don’t even know, that writing is art.
Authors, just like painters and other artists, tell stories in different ways. Some authors are very direct. They follow traditional narratives where characters are introduced and actions take place. These are the types of stories many of you are used to…
Other authors mix in style into their stories, adding new depth to the stories through interesting story telling techniques. These methods force the the reader to think and decode what the author’s intent is.
Some authors truly challenge the reader by creating passages that challenge the reader into truly using their imagination and exploring the depth of characters. Readers will use the skills of inference and deduction to understand the text. Through this thinking process the richness of the story is better understood.
