“Readings 13: Narrative”

29 11 2009

Tone Language

This article is pretty cool, because it is something very different.  We are so used to seeing people who write either using a computer or a pad of paper, but not a cell phone.  People in Japan are not only reading books on their phones they are also writing books.  To me alone that is pretty crazy. Another amazing thing is that she wrote 20 pages in two hours, which is part of a 235 page book.  To this is just awesome.  It is showing how technology can bring out new different types of writters.   Most of her love stories are written in first person narrative, but they seem to be selling.  this is an awesome article.

How do you feel about reading books on your cell phone?  Do you think you could ever write one on your cell phone?

“We Tell Stories”

This is a cool and clever way to get to readers. Over six weeks this six stories will be released to the the reads through the internet.  So if the reader is really into this, he/she will be allowed to get hints and clues throughout the internet. To me it is pretty cool.  With all these clues it will lead up to the seventh story.  So its pretty much one of those types of things that keeps the reader at the edge of their seat but through the internet. I wonder how successful this will be?

Do You think this six story telling will be effective?

“We Tell Stories”

This was not a bad first story.  I like how it was written in the first person narrative.  It was about these two people who meet and  like each other.  The guy asks the girl to go on a date and she agrees.  Then  from there it is nothing but  what is going on through each of their heads.  You hear the girls point of view and how she is excting and getting ready.  Along with the guys point of view.  From this first reading it actually made me want to read more.  I would like to know how the date went on.

What did you think of the first story, did it give you enough to read the second story?

Cross-Platform Storytelling

THis article is very interesting it is telling stories, with real life elements.  By doing this it allows the characters to feel more real.  It is almost like you feel like you know the character personally.  I really enjoy this way of story telling because it makes it much more interesting.  One of my favorite tvshows on HBO Entourage.  Its blog on its site allows you to connect more closely with the character   res, pretty much making you feel like you know them.

Do any of the tv shows you watch have real life element associated with them?
