6. Subject: romanticism, realism, literature Occasion: People wanted to know the aspects of each literary movement Audience: Readers, students Purpose: To define romanticism and realism by comparing them Speaker: An LAL teacher, the God/Goddess of writing Tone: Simple, laconic

7. The source is a table with romanticism on one side and realism on the other. It shows the difference between the two styles as they relate to literature. Romanticism is focused on the unusual and unrealistic. Realism, on the other hand, is focused on mundane and normal events and people.

8. Romanticism is awesome, but realism relates to life better.

9. There's not much to be persuaded by. The things listed in the table are correct, but there's more to romanticism than what is written.

10. For realism: "Writer is interested in recent or contemporary life" "Characters resemble ordinary people -- e.g. Huck Finn, Editha, Frederick Winterbourne, Daisy Miller, Sylvia, Louisa, Edna Pontellier" "Plot is developed with ordinary events and circumstances"

For romanticism: "Plot contains unusual events, mystery, or high adventure" "Writer is interested in history or legend" "Settings often made up; if actual settings are used, the focus is on the exotic, strange, mysterious"

6. Subject: Suspension of disbelief, books, movies, fantasy Occasion: Author wanted to know how to make a story seem realistic without making it so. Audience: Writers Purpose: To suggest ways of adding believability to a work of fiction Speaker: Jami Gold, fantasy writers everywhere Tone: Casual, Instructive

7. Gold poses the problem of how to uphold suspension of disbelief in a story. Then, she tries to answer the question by looking at what other authors have done and by what doesn't work.

8. A story can feel realistic if it is internally consistent or has some truth to it.

9. The main points make sense, especially when it comes to character motivations and reactions.

10. "Poet-philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge suggested: '[I]f a writer could infuse a “human interest and a semblance of truth” into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgment concerning the implausibility of the narrative.'"

"While fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkien argued: '[I]n order for the narrative to work, the reader must believe that what he reads is true within the secondary reality of the fictional world."

"As soon as readers remember they’re reading a words on a page rather than living and breathing with the characters, the suspension bubble has burst."

"...their personalities are often very realistic."
