1. Brown states that there is a “learnability” in writing. This means that language is available, and free to anyone and you can give guidance based on taste and experience to speed up the process of the learning of the craft which is creative writing to someone with talent and will. The process of writing the craft though demands that writing is imaginative, and knowing how to address the senses which is image and thought. Therefore, based on this notion, please answer the following questions. CPMK3 (CPL11). a. What does “the learnability of writing mean?” Why is all writing imaginative? b.

ANSWER 1.



A. Learnability is a person's ability to write well and correctly, develop writing into creative and interesting writing, this ability is very important for a writer, so that his writing can be interesting writing for others to read. B. Writing is imaginative because it is necessary to entice the reader to read the text . However, in order to keep the writing engaging and obtain a selling point, the writer frequently disregards facts and reality. In order to make their writing more fascinating, authors frequently use untrustworthy material. Thought is a collection of words that have a function other than physical activity. The term "concrete" refers to an image that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. How to address these senses, The term "significant" refers to a specific image that also implies abstraction, generalization, or judgment. The term "detail" refers to a degree of emphasis and specificity.



2. Here are some writing tips to help writing fiction or memoir. 1. Avoid writing your entire autobiography. All memoir writers share snippets from their own life in their work, but trying to tell your entire life story in one sitting can be daunting and intimidating. After all, it’s impossible to cram a million different moments from your entire life into one book-length account. When writing memoirs, focus on specific moments in your life, such as a vivid emotional memory or turning points that affected the course of your life. 2. Create a sensory experience. One of the hardest parts of memoir writing is translating your own experiences into something that the reader can engage with and inhabit themselves. The best way to ensure that your first draft isn’t dull is to pack your own memoir with vivid details, using all of your senses to tell your story and transport the reader back to that specific moment of time. 3. Don’t start at the beginning. If you’re writing a memoir for the first time, it can be tempting to start at the very beginning of your life and then go from there. However, the best memoirs don’t tell their stories chronologically. A lot of time, memoirists will begin with an immediately compelling story or moment from their life. Then, they’ll work their way back and fill in the blanks. This technique will help pique the reader’s interest from the very beginning. 4. Use fiction-writing techniques. A good memoir should be just as compelling as a fiction bestseller. Even though you’re drawing from your own life experience, you should still feel encouraged to use techniques found in novels and short stories. Re-create scenes with dialogue to build suspense. “Show, don’t tell” by describing action rather than overloading with exposition. These techniques will give color and life to your piece of writing. 5. Collapse your characters and events. When writing your personal memoirs, it will be tempting to include all of your friends, family, and loved ones. However, focus only on the people and events that are essential to your own story’s themes. Just because you had a great high school English teacher or an inspiring boss doesn’t mean that their inclusion will help you explain the specific ideas you’re trying to explore in your memoir. 6. Write every day. This may sound obvious, but if you plan to start writing your memoir, the best thing you can do is to write every day. Try to develop a routine. Choose a place and a time of day to write consistently write each day. Establish a minimum daily word count goal. Make sure you’re on pace to meet your deadline (and if you’re self-publishing, set your own deadline and stick to it). If you’re struggling with writers’ block, doing daily creative writing or freewriting exercises can help strengthen your writing muscle and unlock sections of the memoir that you’re struggling with. 2

3. • Narative Modes : Refers to the point-of-view from which the story is narrated. The story can be from the first person pointof-view (“I saw…”) or the third person point-of-view (“he saw”). Notably, there are some important variations on both of these major points-of-view: First person protagonist – the person telling the story is also the main character First person observer – the person telling the story is a secondary character in the story. Third person limited – the narrative follows around one character primarily and has access to his/her thoughts. This narrative perspective also describes things happening around him/her. Third person omniscient – has access to multiple character’s thoughts and actions. Third person objective – describes only the actions of the characters. We see the actions of the book almost as if on a stage with no access or limited access to character’s thoughts. Note: texts can switch between different points-ofview. • Tone : Refers to the attitude the work takes toward the audience and subject. A work’s tone can be playful, serious, upbeat, detached, ironic, intimate, haughty, objective and any other number of great adjectives used to describe an attitude toward something. • Image : Refers to a description of something to be seen, hear, smelled, or touched. • Metaphor: is a common figure of speech that is utilized in everyday life. A figure of speech is a phrase or phrase that employs comparisons to describe something or an activity. In general, mataphors are frequently utilized in poetry and literary works, as well as in regular discussions to make them more colorful and cool. •Point of view : The author's point of view in narrating a tale is important so that the story comes to life and may be conveyed effectively to the reader or listener. Simply said, the author's point of view is how he or she sees or positions oneself in a story. There are numerous point of views to choose from, including first person, second person, third person, and mixed point of view. • Setting : Refers to time periods, geographic locations, cultural contexts, immediate surroundings, weather, times of day, or times of year employed in the story. A setting can be used to create a mood, as an integral part of the plot (creating a conflict, etc.), to bring out certain aspects of the characters, and can also be used figuratively or symbolically to hint at the story’s theme or reflect an interior state of the characters. •Plot : Refers to a series of reoccurring details that have symbolic importance in the story. (e.g. the fire motif or the motif of masks and marks in Lord of the Flies) •Characterization : The term "characterization" refers to a description of the story's characters. It could be about describing something tangible (gender, face, eyes, hair, clothes, age, way of walking, and each other). Also, discuss psychological and emotional issues (attitude, sadness, anger, and each other).
