Wednesday, January 19, 2011. 1 A Sentential Adverb is a single word or short phrase, usually interrupting normal syntax, used to lend emphasis to the words immediately proximate to the adverb. (We emphasize the words on each side of a pause or interruption in order to maintain continuity of the thought.) Compare:. But the lake was not drained before April. But the lake was not, in fact, drained before April. In short, the cobbler had neglected his soul. It was a hot day indeed. Harold won, of course.

Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Writing style is the manner in which a writer chooses among different strategies to address an issue and an audience. A style reveals the writer's personality or voice, but it also shows how she or he sees the audience of the writing. The writing style reveals the choices the writer makes in syntactical structures, diction, and figures of thought. Similar questions of style exist in the choices of expressive possibilities in speech. Edit] Constraints on style. Varying the sty...

Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Techniques to Establish Pacing. The elements of time delineated in your story or screenplay include the time of day or period; scene versus summary; flashback; and foreshadowing. Elements of time raise the following questions:. 1) When is the story being told as compared to when the events of the story took place? 2) Is there a distance in terms of time? 3) Does the story begin with the birth of the protagonist and end with the death? Or Is the time more limited? After the ch...

Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Checklist: Elements of Literary Style. Are the sentences long or short? Why do they change? Do they contain many subordinate clauses, or are they often fragments? Are there any digressions or interruptions? Is the word-order straightforward or unconventionally crafted? Is the writing heavily descriptive, with emphasis on setting and atmosphere, or does it focus on action and plot movement?

Words from Solitude: Media hyperbole and Bengal assembly elections
http://wordsfromsolitude.blogspot.com/2011/04/media-hyperbole-and-bengal-election.html
Sunday, April 24, 2011. Media hyperbole and Bengal assembly elections. In a predisposed tone, almost all of the mainstream media is barking daily that the people of Bengal want a phenomenon called Mamata Banerjee as their future leader – not a cold-blooded Stalinist chameleon! We are forewarned that the people do not want to breathe any more under a thirty-five year old, stagnant, wretched, ruthless and authoritarian regime.

There is a scene where Tony Stark, imprisoned by an Afghan warlord, asks his Afghan cell-mate, Yensen, how many languages he knows.
