Lesson No.2 Sense data

Since you are a stubborn and have decided, nevertheless, to follow even these "lessons" of writing, then we pass a few small suggestions on settings.
After giving the rapids "brushstrokes" to your characters, making sure to give them a connotation of character or psychological well defined, we move to "environment" our actors.
Imagine watching a movie or a play. In these cases the director is always careful to treat the set, so that from the first glance we can understand the "when" and "where".
When the curtain rises and the scene shows some wooden tables, the chairs, some jugs of clay, of the glasses with wine, now understand to be in a tavern. The data "sense" in this case the view, we immediately put in a position to understand the place and, if anything, the time of the representation to which you are about to see. The director and designer will play on the costumes, stage lighting, the objects with which they will furnish to the environment but all they can do to attract public attention and give an immediate and accurate "information" is based on visual data.
The writer has a weapon in more refined and certainly effective. Thanks to the words and, in particular, the ability to "describe", it puts the reader in an ideal position to immerse himself in the scene. The writer does not merely describe the place, the objects and their features, furniture and clothes worn by the characters, the author creates the setting.
What does it mean to create a setting? Simply connote the scene with data able to evoke emotions, memories, feelings. Saying that "the narrow road with no sun, crushed between high gray buildings, he felt the early morning, the smell of freshly baked bread" makes you immediately come to mind a childhood memory, a similar situation that you yourself have experienced . Also, playing on the opposite, the character "cold" environment (road narrow, sunless, gray building) is mitigated and softened by a "presence" familiar and reassuring (the smell of freshly baked bread). At this point the reader is already part of the scene, the protagonist is himself and not a mere spectator. A scent, a sound, a smell have a strong evocative power on any human being. Learning to use these elements to give meaning and effect described in the environment will help you more easily reach the goal dell'immedesimazione.
Practice "environment" including consideration of the songs below:


1.Sui glass door there were no complaints. Jingle bells. Fin the threshold we felt enveloped by an atmosphere dominated by odori.Ma indefinable smells like? A hint of cinnamon, a note more intense than ground coffee, and even a vague hint of oil, but mixed in whiffs of acquavite.Una electric light bulb, only one. Behind the wooden bench, painted dark brown, a woman with white hair and a black bodice spoke with a woman holding a baby. (George Simenon, The House of the Flemish, Adelphi)


2.La attic was large and dark. It smelled of dust and naftalina.All 'outwards the light of the rain drumming on the roof of the large copper plates, you could hear a mighty mosca.Travi, black old, rose from the floor, met with other higher roof beams ... Here and there hung cobwebs sized hammocks, moving back and forth in the air flow, light and quiet as ghosts. From a window that opened into the roof down a milky ray of luce.L 'only living being in that place where time seemed to stand still, it was a rat that jumped on the floor, leaving footprints in the dust of minuscolissime legs. There was crawling along the ground the tail sign ran a long and thin. Suddenly the beast stopped and listened ... and then, psst! disappeared with a flick of the ace in a hole. (M. Ende, The Neverending Story, Longanesi).


3.Once in top of the pile of waste fertilizer of the magician we saw a tiny dragon who scratched
under green wing with its claws scarlet and gray smoke breathed flames azzurree.

(M. Mahy, A door to heaven, Mondadori)

Employment Insurance Dismissed Performance

Earth

blind eye on a dark alley, behind closed doors.
The dust lanes and the air of a sea port on the shore only the dead.
Laugh.
Shadows sitting at a table in a bar, silent as this country forgotten by God
The night has swallowed the last hope.

1. The idea and the character


To begin to tell a story, whether in the form of story or novel, it is necessary to give the reader an idea of \u200b\u200bthe characters in the story treat. A common mistake many new writers is to right from the start to dwell on insignificant details, leaving out a key element. Who are we talking about?
The first rule, if so we call it, is to immediately and in a few words, an accurate picture of the characters. It is not necessary to describe carefully the clothing, the details of the face, eye color and hair. With a few strokes you need to enable the reader to "see" the character, focusing on some key feature that allows, in the subsequent development of characteristic features to recognize it immediately. We can say of a man who "was fat, his hair sparse and rather low" but if we add to this description, an optional "personality" that sets it apart, we started working on the "thickness", this element is lacking, almost always, in the texts of the debutants.
"He was fat, fairly low and with thinning hair but he had an infectious laugh." As you can see, we have not done anything but add the element of "infectious laugh" to make the idea of \u200b\u200ba good-natured and jovial person.
Analyzing the descriptive texts listed below, practice to describe a character, real or imagined does not matter, what matters is that, with a few words appear "alive".


1.This' man was a young man of perhaps twenty-five years of a beauty that I saw a few times in life mia.Alto, with broad shoulders, snellissima life as if it were a woman, elegant, long legs in cowhide boots gialla.Era blond like gold, his eyes were a color between green and blue, almond-shaped, and how strange dreamy, straight nose, large, thin, red mouth and well-designed , and bared teeth when he smiled beautiful, white and regular, it was a pleasure to watch. He told us he was not German but Russia, a country far away.
(A. Moravia, Two Women, Bompiani)

2.Martino is an old school friend, with a long head, long, a front-ending and chin, a big nose that looks like a shapeless stone, and two eyes in the midst of the mountainous desert of his face, sweet, full of tenderness, hanging down, a nice brown color, like a dog. (C. Levi, The clock, Einaudi)

3.Era a robust-looking gypsy woman, with two large gold rings in her ears and gold chains and necklaces of colored beads neck. He had an asymmetric face, rouged and wrinkled, but with an intense expression, a hooked nose, eyes burning blacks. It was dark in complexion and long hair was uncombed and blacks. The loose clothing were used to hide the fact that maybe she was fat or maybe wore them only for their large and shabby convenience, a red tunic, a black tiered skirt, long and wide gray cotton jacket, a red shawl and blue. Bare legs, bare feet and sandals. (R. Rendell, Something wrong, Rizzoli)

Shih Tzu - Lumps On Mouth

Love (maybe)

When you know you listen with your soul and heart, when you can, at least for a moment, to be instead of the other. When you know you claim your rights without trampling on those of others, when it is not a burden to spend your time knowing from the outset that you only new troubles. When you have the courage to be against everyone, starting with yourself, then (maybe) you can call it love.

Red Blister In Throat

Do not step on our rights-Piemme for UNICEF



will be in all the libraries of Italy, from November 10, the anthology "Do not step on our rights," published by Piemme for UNICEF. Ten ten authors and illustrators, including myself, have interpreted and given a voice, each according to his own style and personality, the articles of the Charter of the Rights of the Child. The proceeds from the sale of this anthology will be donated to Unicef, which totally takes care of for years to help children around the world.

I invite you right now to put this wonderful book from the presents, of course, are you planning for Christmas. We are authors and illustrators were happy to make our small contribution but heard our voices and to give to all those children who, even today, are denied even the most basic rights. Not limit ourselves to "feel" good, sometimes a small gesture can mean to another human being (in this case a child) the difference between life and death. As soon as I get the technical details of the book, the cost should be around ten euro, I will give to those interested (and I hope you lot!) Details.
