Are the characters believable?
I think that this is one of the most important things in creating a character because it is crucial for an audience to be able to relate or at least put themselves in the shoes of characters because I think that is how we can be invested in stories.
Is the story written in the first person “I” point of view?
I think point of view plays a big part in the way stories are told because individuals can have flaws or differences in their perceptions. Sometimes, they might be wrong or might not know certain parts of the story and I think this is a really nice way that authors can develop their narrative.
Like in creative nonfiction or fiction, writers develop characters over the course of the play.
The visual aspects of a play make them different from books because it's easier to see things while dialogue plays out compared to how written novels are more thorough. In my opinion books can be harder to digest because they are formatted differently
However, the structure of a drama is only as effective as it is intentionally formed to elicit the desired response from its audience.
The plot only is a driving force in the story if the audience can take meaning out of it. I really like how in class we discuss because I get to learn about things I wouldn't have thought of before. An example is when we read Minor Feelings because the discussions were very insightful.
Indeed, if we define literature as only printed novels and poetry, perhaps it is, for all intents and purposes, dead. But... what if we were to define literature as Sidney did--a creation made from the "zodiac of [the poet's] own wit," improving upon nature itself through invention? Might some of today's internet media fall into that definition?
Literature takes forms that aren't as traditional compared to the past. I think the most prominent ways are over social media and through movies and TV because they tell their own messages too and lots of people consume them.
That's the lowest percentage in any year since NEA surveys began tracking reading and arts participation in 1982 when the literature reading rate was 57 percent" (Ingraham).
I think literature or a lack of reading it has a lasting impact on people in their ability to think critically which can be a cause of some problems in society
