Blog # 5 --Constructing a Story

When constructing a Research Project, it is important to clearly set-up a system for brainstorming your ideas before you create the actual framework of wrting. Based on Pope's Essay, the Author uses various ways of gathering her thoughts which brings her to the main theories of her work. In my opinion, every essay or sermon should be written properly so that the reader can interpret the information.

By focusing on Pope's essay, "Teacher Training", we notice how Pope began his work by talking with his peers. With them, he developed thoughts and began collecting words which he could use later in his pieces of work. By discussing plans with your fellow peers, you can gain more knowledge, along with ask for feedback to determine whether or not the storytime makes sense, as well as your work becomes more interesting.

Next, once the dicussion is over, then the Author should be able to begin creating the different data by framing out the various pieces of information using a "web", also known as "clustering". It is crucial to be able to see your work spread out, as an Author, so that you can see everything clearly while expressing your thoughts. Webing can be time-consuming, however it is a main part for any Author or writer.

Then, as the writer finishes up with his or her webing, they would be able to begin their follow-up part, "free-writing". Free-writing allows the Author to continuously write about their feelings and express their data in their own way. It is also a way to put together the data, so the person can clearly see what they will be writing about.

Lastly, after the "free-writing" process, the Author can then wrap-up their thoughts and ideas by putting them into actual "writing phase". This includes taking the information from the web, then bringing it all into a thoughtful format where the Author can construct the story, essay, or sermon. In my opinion, the writing phase is important because that is where the writer reveals all of the depths of his or her story. By developing intense feelings, the person captures the attention of the audience.

Overall, every writer goes through phases to help them create their "masterpieces of writing". Some stories are short, some are long, however every story should be well thought out by its Author. I believe that an audience could tell whether or not the writer put in time and effort into his or her story. It brings feelings into the work, which helps to captivate the person reading it.
