Appointment

Today I had an appointment so I wasn't able to make it to today's class session. However on my own time I did go over Chapter 7: Descriptive Narration. In any pattern of writing, there is a form of narration and a description that comes along with it. There are 5 narrative patterns which are Situation, Conflict, Struggle, Outcome and Meaning. Situation is what the narrative is about. Conflict may be a problem that occurs in the surroundings, with another person or within the individual themselves. This problem creates struggle. The struggle adds action or engagement which creates the plot of the narrative. The outcome is the result of the struggle. Finally, meaning is the message and significance of the story.

Point of View shows the writer's relationship to the material and the subject and may be viewed through first person or third person perspective.

The types of Descriptive Patterns are: objective description (clearly presents the subject with clarity) and subjective description, also known as emotional description, (conveys a feeling about the subject and makes a point).

See you all on our next class session! Enjoy your weekend.
