I’ve never thought of a story having a landscape. I know there are definite parts to a story and I know that characters had internal and external conflict but I’ve never thought of a story having a landscape of actions and a landscape of mental states. This chapter helped me understand the framework of stories better than I did before. Graham, MacArthur, and Fitzgerald’s view of using “superglue” words in writing made so much sense to me. The idea that conjunctions connect ideas can be tricky to students but using that word would definitely help in the understanding of that concept. Teaching concepts of a story can be hard if students are not “getting it”. The metaphors mentioned in this article (ie: the jack-in-the-box to teach tension within a story) were most helpful to me. Narrative writing can be hard if you are not aware of how to express your feelings to the reader. I plan on using the techniques from this chapter in my classroom and hope that my students will become better writers by using “superglue” words and the “jack-in-the-box” approach.
