Chapter 7-8 Post

Chapter 7 does a good job explaining on how writing works. Murray talks about writing what's right. It could be about the sequence of things and what order they go in. The middle, the end, the beginning...it fits with the flow that the writer goes with. Later on in the chapter, Murray explains the different types of writing such as character, dramatic action, internal/external dialogue, and much more. These are ways of narrative writing and usually the story begins with a leading character. He or she is generally the main person of the story and they open up to us about their lives. Who they are, what they're personalities are like, how they act, and much more. The place is usually the setting of the play. Where is it taking place at? And the person is usually narrating the story. Is it told in third person or first person?
