Your post made me think that I write the memory as a poem and then a short story and then a novella and then the saga that it always becomes. :) Hey, there might be a poem in there somewhere. I'll go get a flashlight and check. :) Very provoking to my thoughts.

Perhaps the Writer of your book could benefit from your CRAP Generation post of January 25th (below)

oh, wait.. I think she already did.

Signed, The Asking Boy... Asking, like dear Alfred... WTF?

WTF?

I reason that the quotes from her book are in italics. I don't understand a frigin' word!

I would have sent the book back to where it came from.

CRAP is certainly an apt title. I'm not sure I could even pronounce those phrases let alone understand them.

I like "carcass" as a description for a work.

This is genius. I know people who talk like this in real life.

Yes, it is often too complicated to see the extended metaphor which is why I like this one. Seems clear to me to see the spiritual themes in the Hospital Window.

Extended metaphor is afterall simply an series of related imagery. You do this quite often yourself, Alfred, even if you don't realize it.

I agree with Joseph, it IS often difficult for the average reader to see writing from the writer's point of view. Of course, that why one takes an English Lit class, or specializes in it as you he done. to learn to see how good writing works in order to improve one's own skills.

You have written the exposition of a great essay here. Your examples serve your points perfectly. I wish I could write as well.

Good luck with the next stage.
