Document Summary
Narrative: a sequence of events, real or imaginary. Beginning, middle (disturbance or complication), end (logical conclusion) Every beginning is an act of fiction just an arbitrary moment we choose to define as the beginning. Give a sense of refreshment try one more time. Beginnings derive from the human desire for order compulsion to shape life, to give pattern and form. Man begins in media res (in the middle of things) have to catch up, this is the nature of life. Life is a constant conversation you walk into and have to catch up on. Beginnings and ends are necessary fictions can"t help but make these choices. Tik is the beginning, tok is the ending really they are the exact same but they are heard differently bc our minds project the difference to measure the span in between. The job is to humanize the inhumanity between life and death.
