Class Discussion 9/3/2008

When Murray is talking about surprise he list the "Writer's Ten Senses"
1-Sight
2-Hearing
3-Touch
4-Smell
5-Taste
6-Change
7-Effect
8-Conflict
9-Context
10-Self

Knowing how to effectivly use these "senses" in writing can make your story more appealing and make more people want read your work.

When you are reporting you're trying to tell the facts of the story or event in an objective way. You're just telling people the basics, who-what-when-where-why-how. When you are writing a story you can add your own personal touch and extra details to help the story stand out or get your point across.

Murray lists on page 123 "Attitudes That Encourage Surprise"
-Know and respent yourself
-Welcome difference
-Connect
-Play
-Confront your fears
