Reflection is the way that we consider
deeply in something and then we reflect back from what we have learned or
understand. And here is what I learned from some Chapters of understanding
prose and from what the professor’s explanation.
In chapter one lecture show that prose
is a kind of literature that is a form of language; it is not exactly form of
metrical structure. It writes equivalent of the spoken language. It can write
in words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs and chapters. It is possible to use
punctuation, grammar and vocabulary to develop its message. For me it is really new word when the professor asks
question that “what is prose?” I have nothing at all in my brain. After the
lecture I make it short that it is very broader than essay. It can be fiction
and non-fiction.
I have thought that essay is one bigger
element literature after thesis book. Now I realize that prose can work more
important that an essay. It can divide into to part one is fiction prose and
non-fiction prose. Fictions prose is such a kind of novels, mystery, detective,
romance, short stories, joke, tale and historical fiction. Non-fictions prose
includes essays, autobiographies, speeches; journals, article, newspapers,
E-mail, letter, history, and text took …etc. I can see some element in prose such
as plot, character, setting, point of view, theme, irony and symbol. About form
of writing, it is written using in paragraphs contains dialogue and also can
have heading or subheading. For my idea fiction prose look like a work of
literature art to make reader interesting to their story book and non-fiction
prose is a work of writing to express about something real and true
information.
More detail in chapter two is about
fiction prose that went deeply into short story. I think that the reason why we studied short
story in this chapter because of fiction is a invention story that came from
the author imaging and make it to be interesting for the audience. The element
of fiction story or i can say process are setting, character, plot, conflict,
climax and resolution. Setting is talked about time and place in the story
happen. In one story can have more than
one setting, it means that it can happen in different place and different time
in whole story. Characters can be the people, animals, or things. Sometime I
can see other characters like angle, devil, and alien… that they are not real
images like we can see on the earth. Plot is the timeline or series of events
that make up what happen of the story. I think it is right that conflict and
climax are the most important parts in the story, they are problems or struggles
what characters must face in the story and it is also the most important point
for one story can make it famous or I can say that can make the audience love or not. At last, the way that they solve
problems in the end of the story, it is called resolution.
Non- fiction is writing about real events
that have happened to someone or something. The basic type of nonfiction is
narrative nonfiction tells a true story, expository nonfiction is factual and
informative writing, and persuasive nonfiction promotes an opinion or position.
In non-fiction writing features we can see table of contents, glossary, index,
headings, bold print, photographs or real pictures, chats or graphs and maps,
caption and fact an opinion. And also I can see the different element form
fiction prose. The elements are setting, character, point of view, plot, theme
and narrator
The last of my reflection in chapter
seven is about Author’s tone. In here tone is an attitude and it isn’t an
action. It refers to writer’s attitude and often described by adjectives words
like: cynical, depressed, sympathetic, cheerful, outraged, positive...etc. what
emotion the author wanted the readers to feel while reading about the subject.
In conclusion I realize
that to understand about prose writing is very useful for my studying, in my
workplace also while I give some speeches.
