    Creativity has been studied from various perspectives:

    Balancing Character and Plot Development

    • Strong characters drive the plot, and a well-constructed plot challenges characters to grow.
    • Character’s choices should influence the plot, and the plot should force characters to grow and evolve.

    Telling vs. Showing in Writing

    • Telling narrates facts or emotions directly while showing immerses readers in an experience through vivid description and action.

    Figurative Language in Poetry

    • Figurative language adds depth to a poem by creating connections between different ideas or objects.
    • It helps poets express emotions, themes, or concepts that might be difficult to convey through literal language.

    Types of Figurative Language

    • Metaphor: A direct comparison between two unlike things without using “like” or “as.”
    • Example: "Time is a thief."
    • Simile: A comparison between two unlike things using “like” or “as.”
    • Example: "Her smile was like sunshine."
    • Personification: Giving human characteristics to non-human things.
    • Example: "The wind whispered through the trees."
    • Symbolism: Objects, actions, or ideas that represent something beyond their literal meaning.
    • Example: "The tiger symbolizes power, mystery, and perhaps the darker aspects of creation."

    Exploring Tone and Mood in Poetry

    • Tone: The poet’s attitude toward the subject or audience, reflecting their feelings about what they are describing.
    • Mood: The atmosphere or emotional setting created for the reader. It’s how the poem makes the reader feel.
