4/15/2020 Quiz Two! (2020): CRWR 200 006 Introduction to Creative Writing
Some of the above. But Nonfiction also utilizes Character, Image and Scene.
None of the above. Nonfiction relies on objective, empirical fact and

therefore uses a different metric than the crafting of fiction (think of the Ice
Cream Truck story, versus Old Man at Burning Man)
In creative nonfiction, a memoir is most nearly understood as:
A story retrieved from the author's life. The "point" of the story, as in fiction,
is often implied by the characters' actions, rather than a direct reflection.
Also called an Autobiography, it is the story of the author's life, outlining

who they are and how they got to where they are today. It is a narrative
presented to describe a person through the events that built them.
A fictionalization of historical events or people that, while not necessarily

factual, is at least true to the spirit of the story.
A narrative that weaves personal anecdotes with larger ideas and

discusses the implications of these larger ideas through concrete
examples from the author's life.
What is the best categorization for the following passage:

I took a photograph out of an old frame to put in a picture of my new

husband and stepdaughter. Because the frame was constructed in an
amazingly solid way, I thought about the man whose photo I was
displacing; his assumptions about permanence; how we use frames to try
to capture and hang onto moments, memories, families, selves that are in
fact always in flux; how we frame our cities with roads, our shorelines with
resorts, our dead with coffins -- marking our territory, claiming possession

Scene
In class the Miriam Toews story 'Owen Unplugged' (in which the author
describes the birth of her son, and the strangeness of raising a young
male) was given as an example of...
...how a memoir, while told through the eyes of its narrator, can be about
someone other than the author
...how personal essay and memoir can overlap
...how an author can write a memoir from another character's point of view
...how the introduction of a new character in a memoir or personal essay

should take into account the entirety of their lives, beginning at birth
Which of the following best describes A Mind Spread Out on the Ground,
by Alicia Elliot
A Personal Essay in which a conversation with her therapist prompts the

author to contemplate her feelings about depression, suicide
and residential schools
A Memoir in which the author confronts her relationship with her father,
and contemplates how her unresolved questions for him now inform her
relationship with her son and husband
A Personal Essay in which the author describes her experiences attending

and then teaching Creative Writing Workshops in Iowa
A Graphic Memoir that details the author's childhood growing up as a

funeral director's daughter, and her relationship with father's eventual
suicide.
Which of the following best describes the reading Steve Said It Would Be
Okay, by Ivan Coyote?
A Personal Essay in which the author describes their internship in the mid-
nineties at Apple Computers
A Memoir in which the author describes being made an 'honorary member'

of a women-only night out

gender roles has on society as a whole, and on the author's own stand-up
comedy act in particular.
A Memoir in which the author uses humour to describe visiting a spa as a

gender-non-conforming person.
Which of the following is not true for a Personal Essay
Is driven by the author's voice
Relies mostly on scenes to communicate character, conflict, plot and

themes.
Has a conversational (although one-sided) tone
Is directly focused on the ideas that the author has been confronted with in
some way
Incorrect
The following is an example of what?
INT. BUCHANAN BUILDING LECTURE HALL – DAY
A scene
A transition
A sub header
A slugline
True or False? 'CUT TO' is an appropriate transition to use when moving

between scenes in a screenplay
True. CUT TO indicates a change in location that is always necessary for a

new scene.
False. CUT TO is a transition used on versions of the script made

specifically for film editors and are never included in the writers' script.
Kinda True. CUT TO is sometimes used by screenwriters as a kind of

stylistic choice, although it is not a necessity. Some think it makes for
easier reading.
Kinda False. Although CUT TO is an appropriate transition to use in a film

script it does not indicate a change in scene but a change in camera angle
within a scene. As in: "CUT TO: Extreme close up of the T-Rex's narrowing
iris."
What is the difference between Literary Journalism and Traditional

Journalism?
Traditional Journalism strives for objectivity while Literary Journalism

embraces subjectivity.
Literary Journalism employs storytelling techniques that are not always

present in Traditional Journalism
Literary Journalists might carefully craft how and when they reveal
information for maximum emphasis or emotional impact whereas
traditional journalism attempts to present information in a straightforward
manner.
All of the above are differences.
Both "Traditional Journalism strives for objectivity while Literary Journalism

embraces subjectivity" and "Literary Journalism employs storytelling techniques
that are not always present in Traditional Journalism".
Why, as was discussed in class, might an airplane safety flier not be

considered a comic
Although it has many of the elements we might associate with comics

(panels, images), it lacks story.
Although it has many of the elements we might associate with

comics (panels, images), it lacks the combination of words through word
balloons and sound effects that are essential to comics.

comics (panels, images), it lacks the key thematic elements such as heroic
conflict and power fantasy that are essential to comics.

comics (panels, images), it does not use choice of image or panel
transitions in effective ways. It is a simple instructional guide.
Why might the image shown in class of a woman in Victorian garb, slightly
crouched, with one foot raised off the ground, not be the best selection for
a cartoonist trying to make a Choice of Moment?
It does not accurately capture the moment the author is trying to express
and leads to a confusing interpretation of the image (is she stepping on a
bug, or dancing?)
It is too realistic a representation, being closer to the photographic 'reality'

side of the representational spectrum than the 'symbolic' or cartoon side of
the specturm.
It relies on too many frames to depict the moment in question (jumping

over a chair), thus seemingly slowing down the action to a nearly slow-
motion effect.
The image lacks any sense of storytelling. There is no indication of setting

or character implied by the image or the background. It is a photo, not a
comic.
What type
of Panel Transition best describes the following comic:
Panel One: Iron Man grabs Namor from behind, pinning his arms.
Panel Two: Namor reverses the hold slamming Iron Man into a
crumbling brick wall
*all characters the trademarked and copyrighted property of Marvel

Entertainment
Action to Action
Scene to Scene
Aspect to Aspect
Moment to Action
When considering Choice of Flow, it is important to remember:
That each scene must flow naturally into the next without jarring or
disorienting transition. Provide cues to the reader that the scene is about to
change through dialogue like "Gee, I wonder what the others are doing
right now?" or caption boxes like "Meanwhile, in the haunted gazebo."
To include any large, eye-catching panels at the bottom right of the right-
hand page, especially if the panel includes important plot turns or
surprising events, so that the readers eye is drawn to it immediately after
turning the page.
To create a sense of place by transitioning through a series of wordless

panels showing different aspects of the same scene (as was demonstrated
with the clip of a multicultural Hong Kong-inspired city from the
anime Ghost in the Shell).
To avoid a page layout that might accidentally lead to an

ambiguous reading order where the eye may be drawn across the page in
such a way that some panels are ignored, or skipped over. In other words,
to ensure that there is one direction the page can be read in.
Incorrect
How is "Convergence" defined in terms of New Media?
The point at which machine intelligence and human intelligence converge,

making the human race a species of borg-like robots.
The merging of old content with new technologies and communication

systems to create interactive new media
The merging of computers and information technologies with

communication networks and smartphone to create content that was
unimaginable only years earlier.
The combining of humorus captions with stills from old film and television
to create 'memes' which interact with pop culture over social media
platforms.
What is a 'Bark' in Video Game Writing?
The 'outer layer' or the part of a game that the player experiences.
Everything that is not the design models (the 'Trunk') or the code (the
'Root')
Incidental noises (such as the distant barking of dogs, or a whistling wind)

that can help craft the mood and atmosphere of a game environment.
The brief story pitch given by a dev (development) team in a game

production meeting. Increasingly, game developers are bringing in
professional writers after landing a successful bark.
Situationally triggered dialogue that a character or NPC might say in a

video game. For example, if the player picks up a power-up the character
says "ca-CHING!" or if an NPC is hit they might holler "Hey! That hurt!"
All of the following are challenges specific to video game writers, except
Creating stories in which the protagonist must act in some way.
Creating stories that incorporate a huge number of choices that the player
can make (or at least creating the illusion of choice.)
Creating stories around protagonists that are ostensibly in player

control, are completely designed by players and/or have no backstory or
physical characteristics whatsoever.
Designing ways to reveal information about your story or world when you
cannot direct the audience's attention as you can in cinema with camera
shots or prose with description.
In the excerpt from Jessica Abel's Out on a Wire, Podcast host Ira
Glass says that radio (and podcasts) are a "visual" medium. What does
he mean by this?
Because podcasts are audio only, podcasters are required to spend more
time describing the visual aspects of things than any other form of media.
That good storytelling requires an engagement with the senses, through

specific, concrete, sensory details.
That the stories told on podcasts require a moment of reflection where we

'see ourselves in the stories of others'.
The best interviews are done in person, where you can see each other.
Good podcasts are built from this visual connection.
What is a meme? (as it applies to our discussion of New Media in class)
Anything funny on the internet
A theory, developed by Richard Dawkins, which posits that ideas, like

genes, can also be subject to Darwinist evolutionary forces, and thus die
out, reproduce, evolve and spread through a kind of cultural natural
selection. As in biology, these memes could be malignant (such as the
idea of fascism) or benign.
An example of content created, consumed and distributed by users that

merges old media (photos and stills from film or television) with new
ideas/text/cultural phenomena and is distributed through information
technology and communication networks, mostly for LOLZ.
None of the above.
I am increasingly unsure if I really do understand what they are, but do

know that they can be "dank." Or something about Gritty for some reason?
Both, "A theory, developed by Richard Dawkins, which posits that ideas,
like genes, can also be subject to Darwinist evolutionary forces, and thus
die out, reproduce, evolve and spread through a kind of cultural natural
selection. As in biology, these memes could be malignant (such as the
idea of fascism) or benign." and "An example of content created,
consumed and distributed by users that merges old media (photos and
stills from film or television) with new ideas/text/cultural phenomena and is
distributed through information technology and communication
networks, mostly for LOLZ."
Incorrect Question 20 0 / 1 pts
Why might a podcaster intentionally make a recording of a silent space or

a room where no one is talking?
To test the sound of the space for 'recordability'. Some spaces, such as
noisy restaurants, or echoey rooms, are not conducive to recording and
therefore should be tested before an interview begins.
This is a trick some interviewers use. Telling your interview subject you
want to record the sound of the space, then sitting in uncomfortable
silence with them in that space both unsettles the subject (making them
more forthcoming) and gets them thinking of their story in terms of location
(so that they tell it using more vivid imagery.)
To set the base levels of the recording equipment.
To have a recording of the ambient noise of that specific space. This will be
used to fill the gaps left after altering the original tape (ie. removing
the 'um's and 'ah's from the interviewee's speech, or creating an emphatic
pause after a particularly salient point)
Which of the following is not one of Scott McCloud's Five Choices?
Choice of Moment
Choice of Place
Choice of Word
Choice of Image
Which of the following is not an effective way create emotional

connections between players and characters in video games?
By taking advantage of the natural human tendency to empathize by

having them interact with a named and personified object, such as a pencil
or a companion cube
By developing character through cinematic cutscenes
By modelling characters off real, recognizable celebrities so they look as

human as possible. The more realistic the rendering the more deeply we
connect to it.
By allowing players to personalize and modify their avatars, therefore

investing in them creatively
By telling stories about characters who face conflict and change
What is a Profile, as was discussed in class?
Literary journalism that takes the form of an in-depth study of a subject,

usually a person (although it can be a place), written to reveal something
new or unknown about the subject. This might, for example be a long,
personal interview on a celebrity's ranch, or a piece about the collapse of a
small rustbelt town.
The collected background research gathered about a topic that a writers

use as a base to build their stories. This might include photos, dictations,
interviews, biographies and apocryphal tales.
A form of creative nonfiction in which the author postulates about large

ideas in a sort of one-sided conversation
When a piece moves from simple description of a place ("The pockmarked

water tower that teetered over my hometown") to a personal connection ("I
imagine the initials I scraped into it on a dare in 8th grade disappearing in
the rust as both I and the water tower age") to resolve in a larger question
about life ("How, our human drive to make an indelible mark, some sign we
were here, inevitably bows to the long, indifferent march of time.")
According to the lecture on Stage, the underlying theme within a scene between two
characters can best be described as
Antecedent action
Subtext
Plot
Dialogue

one
iness
a poem about loneliness
It is a nonsense poem that focuses on the sound of letters rather than their
meaning
it is a concrete poem meant to represent a tree
it is a sound poem that through repetition of words makes them lose their
meaning
The following is an example of what?
My grandfather died one morning in dampness,
tamping, watering the roses for the coming season...
"Him, His Place," Liam Rector
Rhyming Iambic foot
True Rhyme
Slant Rhyme
Internal Rhyme
This excerpt offers a good example of what poetic device?
Sarah. I lied. You really want to know
the truth? I'll have to take you back to my first
hometown, a northern place where it's cold
as hell and the girls are straight as lodgepole pines.
– Elizabeth Bachinsky's "Saint Sarah"
Oral pauses (lines 2, 3, 4)
Typographical breaks (lines 1-4)
Enjambment (lines 1, 2, 3)
End-stopped line (lines 3, 4)
The following excerpt offers a good example of what poetic device?
I just stood there awhile looking
at the red leaves coming off the trees and waited for the light
to finish what it had started.
– Raoul Fernandes "Bear-like Creatures that Came Out of Nowhere"
Oral pause (in line 1)
Topographical break (in line 2)
Enjambment (in line 3)
End-stopped line (in line 3)
The following excerpt offers a good example of what?
Hassan can, at a handclap, call a vassal at hand and ask that all staff plan
a baccnanal
– Christian Bök, Eunoia
Consonance
Assonance
Alliteration
Enjambment
Is the following statement true or false? "The difference between Formal

Poetry, and Free Verse is that Formal Poetry has to follow certain strict
rules (like how many lines are in a sonnet, or the rhyme scheme of a
limerick), while Free Verse does not follow any rules."
True. Free Verse is by definition free of constraints. Like an eagle on the

wind.
False. While formal poetry often relies on structured rules, they are by no
means mandatory. Many formal poems are written with complete disregard
to the established 'rules'
Sort of true. While there aren't specific poetic formula in Free Verse that
dictate rhyme scheme and meter, Free Verse poems are still built around
sophisticated poetic devices like slant rhyme, line breaks or consonance.
Sort of not true. While there is a lot more flexibility in free verse it still
retains many structural rules (especially in regards to where a line can be
broken) that are left over from formal poetry
According to Tariq's lecture on Songwriting, where did the term "lyric"

originate?
It comes from the "lyre" an ancient stringed instrument and refers to the
lines that would accompany its music
It comes from the ancient Greek "lyra" meaning the unbroken eye-contact
of an accomplished poet
It comes from the same root as the word larynx, without which we could
not sing
It comes from the ancient Greek word for "poem" and illustrates how
poetry's roots are in music
Which of the following would you not expect to see as part of a song?
Verse
Pre-chorus
Stanza
Bridge
According to Tariq Hussain's lecture on Songwriting, why might a

songwriter mumble lyrics?
As a way to write the song before all the lyrics are figured out. Sometimes
it is easier to figure out the specific lyrics later
To draw listeners into the song by encouraging them to strain to

understand its meaning
As a way to encourage your listeners to focus on the music, instead of the

words of the song
It just sounds more hip and contemporary situating your music in the
'Mumblecore' genre
To provide ambiguity to the piece.
Which of the following is true when writing for stage?
All characters should be named and described on a Cast of Characters

page at the beginning of the script.
All scripts should begin with FADE IN
In general, it is a good idea to limit the number of settings and scene

changes, as set changes cannot be accomplished as instantly as in film.
Stage directions are never provided as these are decisions made by your
director and actors.
All of the above
both "All characters should be named and described on a Cast of Characters

page at the beginning of the script." and "In general, it is a good idea to limit
the number of settings and scene changes, as set changes cannot be
accomplished as instantly as in film."
