How can narratives be created in different ways?
How can narratives be structured to allow for a sequel? How can an author compel the audience to read the sequel?
How can textual devices be incorporated into a text to make a narrative more humorous?
How does the point of view shape the story?
Orbit Issue 2
How do authors build meaningful characters that engage readers?
How do authors use characters to engage readers in a narrative? How do characters help readers feel more invested in a narrative?
How do authors create character arcs through their experiences in the narrative?
How does a character’s dialogue help the audience build an idea of who they are?
