I've been so busy today. My NEA post was really rushed, and I'm sorry about that.
I'm currently working on Language Arts homework. I really hate this, because we have to define about thirty literary terms. I hate this for two reasons:
1. As a writer, I already know all of this. And we go over it every single year. For some reason, people still cannot tell the difference between third and first person pov.
2. The book from which we have to copy the definitions is doing a crappy job explaining some of them. Its definition for 3rd person limited pov? "The narrator uses third-person pronouns such as 'he' and 'she.'" WHAT? Also, it is giving the illusion that characterization means creating memorable characters, which it does not. You can go through the process of characterization and still have really sucky characters.
