1 when things aren't over dramatic, and the reader can empathize. 2. When the writer convinces a reader, they often write something that feels real, and something that allows the reader to feel what the writer Is writing 3.I excel at showing not telling because I like to add lots of detail. 4.the problem I have is flat writing. It doesn't happen a lot, but when it does its pretty bad.
1.) When the piece can connect to real life emotions and actions 2.) I think when the writer exposes themselves in their writing it's the best way to convince the reader because the reader would be able to tell how the writer truly felt and you can tell the truth in exposer. 3.) I believe that i personally exceed in the second virtue where i tend to tell the reader the thesis and the point i need to prove. 4.) I struggle the most in the third problem because i believe sometimes the vocabulary i put into my writing can be over the top where a reader sometimes needs a picture of what is exactly going on in your writing.
1) As a reader, I look for authentic emotion in a piece of writing more than I do universal anecdotes. If a writer conveys emotion clearly, then no matter what the piece is about it feels universal. 2) Like I mentioned above, emotion is the most important way a writer can convince a reader by putting a piece of themselves in their work. 3)I like to think that my strong suit in writing is the ability to make the words sound natural, rather it be in an nonfiction or in fiction writing. 4) I need to work on making my anecdotes more universal. I tend to forget that someone may actually read my writing, so a lot of what I write is not relatable to everyone.
1.) Something feels real in writing when you can tell that the writer is not over exaggerating or even under exaggerating and that you can tell that the work seems real to them. 2.) I think the most important way a writer convinces a reader is by the genuineness off their work and how relatable the piece is. If the piece does not feel real to them, then the reader will not be convinced. 3.) I think that I excel in the third virtue of being as honest as possible. 4.) I struggle with the first one about lack of detail. I feel that in my writing I am not as descriptive as I should be.
1. Reason feels real. Luck--within reason (even unbelievable stories have believability). Emotions, such as denial and honesty alike; sometimes there are things you don't want to admit, other times you can't help but be honest.
2. The most important thing a writer can do is to convince themselves; the truth can be worded beautifully, but that doesn't mean it needs embellishment.
3. I've never been quiet about my opinion, so I'm fairly good at persuasive pieces, as well as using accessible anecdotes.
4. I tend to over-explain certain things and lean towards cliches; despite my background in journalism, storytelling in nonfiction isn't my forte.
1.To make writing feel real, you have to get the reader to feel like they are experiencing what is being read. "show, don't tell". 2. The best way to make writing feel real is to make sure that what you write about is, in fact, true. Make sure that it can be backed up with facts. Don't change things up just to make the story more interesting, because the reader will feel that it isn't true and not be convinced on what it is. 3.I think that the "Virtue of Nonfiction" that I excel in the most is to use storytelling to explore an idea. I say this because it is easier to read a story and follow along than it is to just state facts and try to comprehend them. 4.A problem I struggle with the most would be an off-putting tone. When I took College Prep Writing, my teacher told my that my writing sounded "wishy-washy" because I was never 100% on anything, I always seemed like there was a part of me that didn't believe what I was writing to be true, so I would like to fix that.
1.) I believe that Exposure of Self is what makes something as some would say "real" in writing because it "looks for the real feeling and beliefs," and "provides no distance between the actual you and the reader." 2.) The most important way a writer convinces a reader is in Testable Elements Hold up to the Test because it gives the facts and make suers everything is in order like the events, dates, and locations. 3.) I feel as if I'm best at Testable Elements Hold up to the Test because I'm pretty good at giving the facts and making sure there in order. 4.) I feel like Anecdotes must feel universal may be my weakest one because there are times where I might tell more then showing than showing and not telling.
To me the most real thing in writing is the human revelation. Being able to convey the imperfect perfection that is humanity in a way that breaks everything down to its initial state is what makes writing real. The most important thing a writer can convince the reader of ties directly into the realness of writing. I believe if the writer can convince the reader that their imperfections are what make them the writer they are, that the influence of circumstance gives them power to speak and that you don't have to be anything special to create something beautiful. I guess even in a piece of writing that seems depressing it should hold meaning that gives strength even if that strength is not positive. I think my strongest virtue of nonfiction would be my honesty. I feel that if I haven't experienced a specific emotion, I shouldn't write about it for public eye because I don't feel confident in my own fiction writing. I guess to me honesty is in fact the best policy. At the same time I feel as if I struggle with the idea of showing and not telling. I am improving slowly but surely in that aspect but I still need to work on it.
1. How descriptive the writer is 2. Anecdotes Must Feel Universal, I think it's important for the readers to know/feel the same things. 3. Telling all of the truth, I don't see any point in lying in a non-fiction piece and I'm just a really bad liar. 4. Poor storytelling, I put detail in certain events and have way too much explaining with little to no dialogue.
1. Something feels real when you can put yourself, as a reader, into the scene. 2. When a writer can evoke emotions from a reader is important because if they're moved by it in any form, it has already convinced them. 3. I almost always write in first person because I find it the easiest way to translate stories from the narrators POV rather than someone else's. 4. I struggle with ineffective selection of events when writing. I always write without thinking through the entire plot and I end up with gaps in my story or too many unnecessary events
1.The thing that make something feel real when in the writing when I feel like I am in there in the story and feeling what the character are feeling. 2.The one thing that I feel the most important way convince the reader is to make it sound like you know what you are talking about but you are not just tell about it but you showing it in a way to keep the reader entertain and the exposure to self because it make you want to now that it non fiction. 3.I think that I excel at is feeling in the detail in and make sure that you now what is truly happening. 4.I would say that I struggle with the exploring other because I do not now when to take there perspective.
1.) The more detail, the more feeling to the story. 2.) Anecdotes need to feel universal, so what better way to convince a writer, when you can convince a whole audience. 3.) I would say #4 I excel the most because I pretty much only write in 1st person. 4.) #1 I think is my biggest problem, because I have a lots of good ideas for stories, but sometimes it's hard to write it out and plus my terrible grammar doesn't help.
1. DESCRIPTION. and not the clique "my heart dropped" or "my heart was racing". The words should describe every single action and feeling as they were. That actually makes me feel like the story is real. 2. Making things relatable to the reader is a great way to convince the reader. A teenager doesn't want to read about the stresses a man goes through when doing taxes. When you can read a nonfiction and be convinced by it because you can directly relate it to your own life and experiences, then the author has just effectively convinced you. 3. The virtue I'm strongest in is writing in first person. I know that sounds like a simple skill, but I've seen many stories that have failed with this. Also, it literatly angers me when a book is in the third person because I feel like I'm missing so much from the characters. 4. I struggle with factual elements that fail the truth of reality. I tend to feel the need to explain everything that is going on, and it ends up being confusing to the reader.
1. You can make writing feel real is revealing emotion inside of it. When a writer puts something sentimental inside their writing, they reveal something about themselves. when you reveal something about yourself you expose something real.
2. A writer convinces the reader that their story is real by putting descriptions of what they are talking about and making the item they are speaking about seem realistic.
3. I excel most at writing in conversation I am very relaxed and laid back whenever i write so I find it pretty easy to write in that style.
4. I struggle with explaining too much in my writing and I tend to make the writing more dry.
1. To make something feel more real in writing it would have to have real feeling emotions. It cannot feel artificial as many young authors struggle with.
2.The author has to convince themselves to be able to convince the reader.
3. I usually write in the first person so I would say I am best at the first person writing technique.
4. One thing I tend to do a lot is describe so much that it loses effect and makes the writing sound almost stale.
1.) If the story is believable and universal, people are more likely to believe them. 2.) An important part of convincing someone that the story you are telling is real, is making it clear to the audience that the story is real. Mentioning that it was a personal experience or just saying that it was real usually is enough to convince an audience. An example of this would be the movie Fargo. At the beginning of Fargo it says that the movie is based on a true story. It is not. However, for a long time people were convinced that it was simply because they were told it is. 3.) Show not tell. Whenever I write a story I try my hardest to make sure I never lazily tell an audience information. 4.) Having factual elements that fail the truth. I'm terrible at remembering detail properly.
1. If a piece of writing is relatable and believable, then to me it is "real." 2. The most important way a writer convinces the reader is universal anecdotes. When a piece is something the reader believes and can understand, then it is convincing. 3. I excel the most at is not wearing a mask. I always make sure to project exactly what I mean and how I feel in all of my pieces. 4. The problem of nonfiction that I struggle with the most is with factual elements that fail the truth or reality test. Sometimes I end up writing one thing that contradicts another, especially when I write stories. Not with the emotion of the piece, but with physical elements.
1. To make something written feel real, the author needs to believe in what they are writing. They need to let their emotions seep into their writing, letting the reader feels exactly what each character and the author feels. 2. I believe the most important would be that anecdotes must feel universal, because to write something new yet relatable, the experience must be known to all, but the way a character handles the situation can be new. 3. I excel in the third virtue, being able to talk in first person and making it known that it is me that is talking, not someone else. 4. I struggle with the first problem because I get my thoughts mixed in my head and the plan that I have for the story gets mixed up with what I already have told the reader.
1. I feel in order to make what is being written feel real, the author must have faith in what they are conveying and writing and they they must fully express how they feel through sensory details and descriptions. 2. I believe the most important one would be when the anecdotes must feel universal because to make that connection between the freshness of the material and the familiarity of the experience felt, you have to express how the experience was and take into consideration how the readers will react. 3. I most excel in the third virtue because i tend to go into depth when writing and i truthfully explain my writing. I feel like when I write personal narratives, I get to talk about how im feeling and it is easier to let it out on paper. 4. I have the most problems with the first because I go on and on when writing and I need to start bringing it in and shortening it.
1. What makes thing feel real in writing.It has to be the writers way with words. If the words paint a picture then that is what makes writing "real" 2.The most important way a writer convinces a reader is when they make the reader feel like they are in the story. 3.I would say testable elements hold up is my best. 4.exploring others
1. When a piece of writing is relatable it makes it more real. If the reader can connect to the writing, even in a small way, they have a better time understanding it therefore making it feel "real" 2. I think my number one goes with this one. The most important way to convince a reader is to have universal anecdotes so the reader can connect and relate. 3. I excel at telling the truth in non fiction. I think that if the emotions and events described are written with the truth then it makes the writing raw and real 4. I struggle with showing not telling. I have to work on being more descriptive.
1. If a piece of writing is easy to relate to and easy to empathize with, then it feels more "real" to me. 2. I think the most important way a writer can convince a reader is exposure of self because it gives off a sense of true, genuine, powerful feelings; and i think the reader can tell when this happens. 3. I think I excel at being honest, I try to explain everything as it happened in words, as well as I can. 4. I need to work more on showing. not telling. I understand the concept, but haven't explored it enough to fully understand it.
1. I would say in order for a writing to feel real to me it has to be believable. If things are always overplayed in the writing or not detailed enough, I won't trust it. 2. For me the most important way a writer can make their work believable is their tone. 3. I think the one I personally excel at is being able to put my feelings into the writing and get the readers to feel that. 4. I need to work on being able to concentrate on just the truth.
