Document Summary

Skill 19. 1: make your narrative a story, not an and then chronology. Think more deeply about the concept of a story particularly how a story differs from an and then chronology. Thesis-based writing descends from problem to thesis to supporting reasons and evidence, stories unfold linearly, temporally, from event to event. Start in the middle of the action and then jump backward and forward, but you always encounter some sequence of events happening in time. Creates a sense of onceness. : things that happen at a point in time happen only once, as the classic fairy-tale opening once upon a time . Events of a story must also be connected, not merely spatially or sequentially, but causally or thematically. All the details in saknussemm"s (the narrative) essay contribute to the thematic intentions of the story. Creates the anticipation and potential significance that keeps the reader reading.
