This week we had all of the presentations on the elements of fiction. Going into the start of presentations I didn't know what to expect. I already had a base knowledge of what the elements were and I feared that the presentations would get really repetitive. However, I was presently surprised. The presentations enhanced my knowledge of each element and showed how they related to each other. Characterization, for example, is closely related to structure because the structure in literature is how the characters develop throughout the story. Humor works with theme in the sense of they both are used to highlight truths about human ideals. With these elements interacting with each other makes literary works of art possible. By allowing complex thoughts to be presented in humors, or disguised fashions, we gain knowledge without even knowing it. On the other hand, we had to also give our first presentations of the year this week. I felt as though the structure of our presentation was kind of open ended even though we had that video to guide us. In most all of my past presentation, I try very had to not put a lot of information of the slides and leave it to me to explain to the class. I just know from experience how much it bugs me when people read everything right off the slide. Therefore, I tried hard to do this in my presentation on the elements. I also took into account the idea of relating to the audience with your presentations. So we added memes in our slides that connected to the content as well as adding some humor. Overall, this week was full of new knowledge in a relax setting. Good presentations
