chapter - 9

In this chapter showed what is wit, symbolism and suspense and how to build it into our writing. It also showed how to use clarity principle. Only when we make it clear our purpose of communication is met.

New things that I have learnt from this chapter:

§  Once we see the source of this wit, we can start seeking out such pivot words too.

§  Pun gives 2 meaning- we get the meaning of the original sentence and get the meaning of new sentences

§   Each of the picture word had only one meaning. As they are used over the century, they picked up second, third and even more meaning.

§  Pivot words are the special title to multiple meaning word

§  Wit is the humorous change in a pivot word, in mid- image from one meaning to another

§  Clarity results when we restricts a pilot word to only 1 meaning

§  Whole range of reinforcing double meanings contained in single word - metaphor

Things that I already knew about, that were given in the chapter:

§  Use of suspense, wit, metaphors, symbolism, and allegory adds style t our writing.

§  Different kind of meaning was chosen to give different effect

§  Grammar imperceptibly blends into literature

§  Clarity results when we restrict a pilot word to only one meaning

§  Ambiguity results when we restrict a pilot word to more than one meaning.

Mistakes made when answering the questions given at the end of the chapter:

Yet to look into it.
