Writing for me seems to be a bit of an illusion. I tend to try and use extended metaphors in as many pieces of work as I can. This gives the reader something to ponder about while reading. Illusions within writing pieces can describe aspects of an event or person better than a normal description in some circumstances. Especially while writing poetry, I explore the use of similes and metaphors to capture the audiences attention. Illusions within in writing intrigue and captivate your audience to the plot line. Well done pieces of work with many illusions is a difficult task. With that being said I think it shows a level of maturity and experience in writing. By no means do I consider myself a fantastic composer of literature, but when I use illusions within the writing, it is an interesting concept to grab for your audience. Personally, I love reading pieces of literature with a diverse amount of illusions. It makes the reading more like a puzzle that you continue to learn the farther down the page you read. Although I have not perfected (nor will I ever) this captivating writing technique, I will continue to stretch my mind and writing to new levels by utilizing the use of illusions such as similes and metaphors.

Well I feel like writing be playing mind games so I will really have to go with you on this one . I say this because you can know what to write about how you gone write it , but then again you will be lost because you have all that but you have no clue how to put all this in writing form. That's my reason why I agree with you .
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about metaphors as tools to capture the audience's attention but now that you say it I have to agree. I definitely think that sometimes it is more explicit and closer to what you want to say to use a metaphor to describe something instead of just describing it. I'll try to think about it next time I write and try to put as many as I can!
