Study Notes
- Paragraph development is a writer's ability to discuss ideas clearly and concisely.
Narration
- Narrative writing involves storytelling using memory and imagination to create and interpret stories.
- Effective narratives evoke curiosity, stimulate imagination, and leave a lasting impression.
- Narration tells a sequence of events, happening in a specific place and time, guided by a narrator.
- The purpose of narration is to transport the reader into the story's reality, compelling them to reread and reflect.
Characteristics of Narrative Writing
- Vivid descriptions appeal to the five senses.
- Consistent Point of View (POV) is maintained throughout the story.
- First POV uses pronouns like I, we, our, me, us, my, and ours.
- Second POV uses you, your, and yours.
- Third POV uses he, she, it, him, her, they, him, her, its, their, and them.
- Consistent Verb Tense clarifies the timing of events for the reader.
- Significance or Theme unifies the story, revealing a universal truth.
Narrative Devices
- Anecdotes are brief stories from the writer's memory which can introduce an essay, illustrate a point, or serve as a memorable conclusion.
- Example: Sharing of an experience with books.
- Flashbacks present past events, adding context and depth to the narrative.
- Example: A character remembering a past experience with snow.
- Flashforwards reveal future events, adding meaning to the story.
- Example: A character foreseeing an event 27 years later.
Description
- Descriptive writing expresses sensory experiences vividly and concretely, creating a picture with words.
- Effective descriptions enable readers to imagine what is being described, answering "What is he/she/it like?".
- The writer controls the content of the description, but the purpose and audience dictate the approach.
Types of Description
- Objective descriptions are technical and factual, helping readers to clearly identify what is being described.
- Subjective descriptions are expressive, evoking emotions and ideas through connotative language to build a dominant impression.
Definition
- Defining clarifies the essence of a word, idea, concept, or expression.
- The purpose of definition is to inform, clarify misunderstandings, and avoid persuasion.
Two Concepts of Defining
- Denotation is the literal, dictionary definition of a word.
- Connotation is the secondary meaning based on personal or shared experiences, not found in dictionaries.
Techniques Used
- Analysis breaks down a concept into its constituent parts, focusing on specific details.
- Example: Describing the parts of a guitar.
- Collocation associates the concept with related words or expressions.
- Example: Associating "mass demonstration" with "revolution", "riot", and "violence”.
- Comparison associates the concept with something else using imagery, such as similes and metaphors, to create a vivid picture.
- Example: Relating numbers in a demonstration to the evidence of senses and collective strength.
- Contrast distinguishes a defined concept from similar ones.
- Example: Differentiating a mass demonstration from riots or uprisings.
- Etymology explains the history and evolution of a word.
- Example: Explaining the etymology of "Appassionato".
- Exemplification defines by providing examples.
- Example: Listing dictionaries, encyclopedias, journal articles, textbooks, and thesauri as examples of books.
- Function explains the purpose or use of the concept.
- Example: Stating that the primary purpose of a clock is to measure time.
- Negation defines a word by explaining what it is not.
- Example: Defining love by listing what it is not.
- Synonyms use words or phrases with similar meanings to the concept.
- Example: Using "nauseating" and "sickening" as synonyms for "mawkish".
- Slang uses informal language specific to a group.
- Example: Defining "pot" or "grass" as slang for marijuana.
Exemplification
- Exemplification is the enumeration or giving of examples.
- Examples make abstract ideas understandable and support claims.
Techniques to Establish Credibility in Arguments
- Visual illustrations concretize abstract concepts such as love and poverty.
- Facts are statements assumed to be true, which are useful in supporting points.
- Anecdotes are brief narratives that support claims and arguments.
- Details entails analyzing and breaking down a concept into its constituent parts.
- Opinions are individual interpretations that vary due to different backgrounds and personalities.
- Observations use descriptive language appealing to the five senses.
Comparison and Contrast
- Aims to identify similarities and differences.
Filipino Women Examples:
- Leonor Rivera-Kipping: Lover of Jose Rizal, Real-life Maria Clara.
- Corazon C. Aquino: Patient housewife & bereaved widow, Presidential candidate & revolutionary president.
- Gabriela Silang: Widow of a famous rebel, led an army, is considered a symbol of the activist, patriotic Filipina.
- Imelda Marcos: Wife of the late President Ferdinand Marcos, displayed unbridled appetite for vainglory.
