individual twitter narrative

Individually, I would like you to reflect on your work, answer the following questions, and post your answers to your blog.

1) What surprised you about your narrative? How did you adapt?

The content surprised my about my narrative through the two reversals. One is that when Pumpkin almost break the rumor that she is a thief, Sunny reveals her another secret. Another one is that when Pumpkin is worried about her secret, people find that Sunny is a psycho. When I tries to adapt to this, I choose to be silent and wait what they are going to say. 

2) Identify the points you are most proud of.

The advertisement of our company through video. 

3) What form of media was most useful?

Video.

Long text.

6) Least enjoyable?

7) Identify the points you would change and what you would do differently.

I would change that Sunny is a lesbian and psycho. I think I should change Sunny’s gender because I feel it is not respect for lesbianism.

8) Optional: is there anything else you would like me to know?

No.

essay (highlight)

The Rising of Free Writing

    “The Process of Writing--- Growing” tells a writer’s story about his writing process from tradition writing way, usually write after thinking, to a complete new way--- free writing. After reading it, I find that free writing is so important that it might be a main part in our writing in the future.

    If we always write after overthinking, we could not express our original emotion immediately. We might be limited in our overthinking. For example, as for me, I used to ask myself: “it is OK if I write this way?” when I was writing. My writing might be more beautiful if I change my words to another, which I think is more proper. However, I lose my original feelings about writing. So for this point, I think free writing is a need of life because writing’s purpose ought to service us to learn things continuously and enjoy life. In our daily life, a large amount of writing needs our feeling, thinking, and emotion. If we cannot express these truly, then what is the point we write? 

    In my opinion, we should learn four things. First of all, let our emotions out and write what we want to say. Second, let our mind open without limitation and write what we think. Moreover, we should observe our surroundings carefully and write what we see. Last but not least, we ought to experience life and write what we do. That is the meaning of free writing.

    Overall, free writing is more suitable for us because free writing is a perfect way to express real features of people and a best approach to improve our writing level. We cannot deny the increasing importance of free writing.

Entry12: vlog in twitter narrative

We can make words funny to attract more people like popular vloggers use in videos. And generally, these words are always beyond common ideas and regulations in people’s mind. People like to be exciting. That is also the reason they choose to focus on funny videos instead of normal videos. If we use this kind of talking way in our Twitter Narrative, I believe there must a lot people follow us. In addition, by using funny words, our narrative will become more vivid.

entry 11

I can combine visual, audio, and print to create a layered narrative in my Twitter narrative. For instance, if I just write a lot of words and do not give the evidence, the audience will hardly believe what I say. So at this moment, I can offer some pictures to proof my ideas. And perhaps an audio also can be considered as a strong argument to support my writing. In addition, I can use the mixtures of visual or audio and print, because sometimes I cannot explain my ideas very accurately. And some pictures and audios can make what I want to say just more concise and easier to understand.

Response

I think the main point to increase twitter follower is retweet relevant content unless you already are famous. Using a management dashboard for Twitter like TweetDeck. And retweet meaningful content they are sharing. Their voice is amplified, and yours legitimized. Your brand stands to benefit from associating with reputable commentators, and you are laying groundwork for potential collaboration and reciprocal sharing.

how to use twitter bots in narrative

How to use twitter bots in narrative:

I think at first we can use twitter bots to come up with a topic. Let all the people belonging to this community notice this topic through twitter bots’ functions. Although twitter bots will send us some rubbish messages, we can use these messages as someone else’s comment and no body knows who says it. And than we can use these comments to make up new plots in narrative.

entry8

People get information through the effect of visual sense, auditory sense, smell and other organics. However, we rely on our visual sense mostly. Even if when we are eating, our visual sense plays a more important role than gustation because actually, the vision we see with our eye stimulate our brains firstly.  So I think we are influenced by visual factor a lot. And infographic is a way of conveying vision to us. Traditionally, infographic means charts, graphs, and other images with clear and simple data. But now, infographic can identifies a whole story, a process and even whatever you want to tell. It not only influences the audience’s ideas, but more significantly, it helps the audience to build the conceptions about the content of infographic that is just the same as what the author want to display.
