Structure

Structure

           Structure is the way in which an author lays out their story. Structure consists of many different things such as one sentence paragraphs, small sentences leading to longer ones, words left alone, the way authors seperate sections of a book, and many other things like that.

 

           Speak is filled with different structure styles. Each large section of the book is devised into marking periods. Four marking periods take up the entire book and at each end of a marking period it shows Melinda's grades. Sections usually beginwith a one or two sentence paragraph to set the mood of the section. Marking periods are further devised into sub headings to mark special events in the book.

          

  All of the structual styles in this book set the mood and tone of the story. Diolouge in the book is usually quick and shows the way characters act. The short length going to long length sentences really create an anticipating mood as do the short ending paragraphs and sections. Single words and names also fill the book to set a tone to a characters actions during the story.

 

• Does structure change the mood to stories in your oppinion?
• Does Structure confuse you when reading a story or help you to understand it?
