Structure reflection
What have you learned from completing this exercise?
I've learnt to dig deeper when juxtaposing elements in a story. Through discussions, Praveen and I had manage to develop a creative juxtapose.
What made it challenging?
I was not sure how to observe the structure of Chapter 1. Is juxtapose a part of structure?
What made it possible to complete it?
We were able to elaborate on the juxtapose of Chapter 1 but we did not observe the structure of the chapter at all besides the dramatic selection of Prim as tribute at the end of the chapter.
What have you learned about how to approach these kind of tasks?
To come up with rough ideas and to discuss thoroughly with others before setting ink onto paper( or in this case, typing onto the google doc)
Look at the success criteria. Do you have any questions about this learning before you can consider yourself successful?
I simply do not understand how juxtaposes relate to structure. Isn't the structure of a chapter suppose to be the eloquence of Collins' writing throughout Chapter 1? How we organize the flow of the story? What is a structure anyways?
If a writer deliberately sets 2 contrasting events or passages next to each other then that is a form of juxtaposition and worth commenting on. Plots are usually based on a well-known formula which we will look at, and they choose the order of their stories purposefully. And don't forget the Hero's Journey model - that is very relevant to structure.
