PATTERN

Is the system of reading

signs designed to make the
reader move smoothly
through the text while
making them pay attention
to the most important parts.
Pattern by ear
Consonants and vowels
Prose writers pay attention to sound
patterns.
Paying attention to the consonants
and vowels help us to create sound
patterns.
When a pattern of similar sounds
evolves, the writting feels unified.
Rhythm
Creative writing uses rhytm to
punctuate, highlight, and emphasize
content and keep the reader
interested.
Creative writing tries to be
interesting, lively and memorable
when reading.
The cat is wearing a hat.
Rhymes and echoes
Rhymes provide a pattern to make
things easier to memorize.
The rhymes need to be fresh, natural,
clear, surprising and interesting.
Paying attention to the pattern of
language is important for creative
writing.
Echoes are images or phrases repeated
in the text.
Word order
Syntax is the order of the parts of
a sentence.
Using more than one pattern is
important.
An example of playing with the
word order is found in rap lyrics.

Meter
Meter help us to know how fast we are going, and tell us which syllables are stressed and which ones are not.

Iambic pentameter: It is the meter we tend to use.

It involves the usage of words with two syllables,
being the second one strssed. Since it is a
pentameter, it means that we use this pattern five
times.
An example of this could be that in English we use
the words after an article.
It is reassuring, predictabe, steady, controlled and
clear.

Free verse: It means that we write without following meter rules

or patterns.
The reader provides the rhythmic emphasis and controls the
speed of reading.

Pattern by eye
Objects
Objects make texts more meaningful
and coheasive.
They can be either animated or
inanimated.
We have to choose images that work
together or against the stuff in our
work in order to create visual
patterns.
The patterns of objects tell us a lot
about the deepest layers of the
story.
They help us to create imagery.
Gestures
Gestures include patterns of
physical movement and gestures
from the characters.
Patterns of movement allow us to
connect the parts of our writing.
Movement attracts the reader.
Pattern on the page
Something important we have to
think about is how our patterns
work together on the page.
White space works as a rest and
help to speed the pace when
combined with short blocks.

Layering patterns
Creative writing can be compared with music since it requires to
combine rhythmic elements as well as words.
Using clashing patterns creates energy,
The important thing is the way we say stuff.
