Saunders and DFW

In Saunder's message, what I obtained from it was dramatization. I belive in stories it helps add the suspention to make the reader want to know more and to continue reading. Just like Saunder's stated that adding drama and building suspense to a boiling point was key to his stories. In DFW's story, he also added in dramatization with 9/11 . He made it realistic to the listeners about how 9/11 affected him and his neighbors around him.He used details to describe the flags, the country, and how it took a toll on America. He created the feeling of drama into his story.  This will help me further write my own memoir by adding details and suspense so one will not be bored by my text, but so that they will want to further read it. The key to a short story is adding the effect of drama and creating a climax to get the reader's attention. I believe adding this element into my own writings will help me create that effect and make a story worth reading,
