Also, think about: we've covered many elements of craft over the past 8 weeks: form, symbolism, place, imagery, characterization. Other examples are plot, point of view, or literary techniques like metaphor and alliteration. These elements of craft are what makes a piece of writing GOOD: compelling, thought-provoking, and memorable. Are any of these elements behind your love for your favorite piece?
