FNAR 7361 - Creating Compelling Narrative
Credits: 3
Writers of thrillers, literary novels, and memoirs face a common challenge: compelling readers to continue reading. Powerful narrative results from an intriguing combination of what happens, who is involved, and why the characters act as they do. Students explore how narrative techniques like conflict, suspense, character motivation, plot complications, and resolution combine to engage readers, whether used in prominent ways as in a mystery or with more subtlety as in literary fiction. Through examination of classic fiction and current best sellers, students analyze effective storytelling and create compelling narratives, scene by scene. May be applied for the following curricular field concentrations: humanities; creative writing; arts and cultural traditions.
