Hopefully this will help!


When writing a short story or novel, make sure to use quotations when a character speaks. It helps the story sound more professional. For example, using this method-

Tracy: Hey! Let's go to the park!

Will definitely not catch the readers attention. This is only appropriate when planning out a play script or similar.

When I first started writing, I never put punctuation inside my characters words either. So its beneficial to add the suitable punctuation inside the quotations.

Another aspect is starting out with a key beginning. Grab the readers attention with a fish hook. Start out by using detailed descriptions, or possibly hook their attention with a witty or unexpected remark by a character. For example,

"I had the worst nightmare last evening, I saw lapis blue sky's that one could drown in. Emerald green plants that flourished with fat,  juicy fruits. It was wonderful...till I awoke and entered reality then saw, that none of it was possible in my world..."

Read the following passage and write a brief paragraph that identifies:
prohojiy [21]

This paragraph is an excerpt from the executions of Captain John Smith who was found exploring the lands of Virginia.

The author’s purpose is to bring to the audience how the captain was saved by the leader’s daughter herself, from this potential public execution.

The intended audience here is people who are interested in the history of Red Indians and how this incident was turning point. It was after this incident that the natives began to trade with the natives.

Explanation:

This excerpt takes a tone that suggests how the Powhatan, the chief who announced the execution withdraws because his daughter came forward to save the captain by herself.

The emphasis here is on the strength of the power that eventually gives in to the power of love.

The author’s perspective: the king’s change of mind from executing the man to save his life and to be at his service all because his daughter was interested in him.
