Saunders is a very insightful author. He explained how
a good story starts from the unknown, which means that although you might know
where you want to go with your piece you may not know the best way to get there. He also
mentioned that we should appeal to the audience and make it relatable and human.
Which brings up the topic of editing, he says that he cuts so much out of the
original piece because the reader doesn’t need to know everything. By doing
this he keeps his readers attention with shorter chapters with relevant and
concise details.
DFW uses vivid imagery as far as the way he described everything,
from his town to his neighbor’s personality. His language brought his story to
life and made it so much more relatable. I also believe that the fact that he
used such an impactful event, made it feel a lot closer to home with his
audience.
I believe that I can use some of the vivid language and
conciseness of both of these authors to bring my second project to life for my
audience.
