Throughout this quarter, my mind has taken in vast amounts of new knowledge, I guaruntee equal to the amount I learned within the course of my eighth grade year. A lot of this new knowledge gained has stemmed from English; with this knowledge comes important skills and concepts. Among the many important skills, I feel that the one most important and beneficial to me would be analyzing writings through the method of TWIST.
Through the use of TWIST, we submerge ourselves deeper into the writing, giving us an even greater knowledge and meaning of it. Tone for any writing is very important, for if the reader does not know the tone, they are reading it in vain. Word choice is also important, and much easier to decide on than the tone is. Imagery will give the reader an enhanced imagination of any of the senses being portrayed in the writing. Imagery is used a lot in describing any aspect of things in the writing. Authors always will have a certain style they use in their writing, such as metaphors, similes, personification, alliteration, etc. When the writing has been analyzed for all of the previous, the theme can be deduced. The theme gives the true meaning to the writing, and is one of the most important aspects of any book, poem, short story, etc.
Looking at different pieces of writing using this method was very helpful to me. It has enabled me to find more meaning in the words, and I think it will make me a better writer.
