(000: where did you post something about how people respond better to situations where they are 'pulling' things rather than pushing them?)


implication:

literature that involves a sense of interaction

reader has to take a active role in obtaining closure


i was looking at some jehovahs witness literature the other day, and without fail, on the cover of each issue is a QUESTION in BIG BOLD PRINT

(the one i saw yesterday said "Is it OK to Lie Sometimes?")

another one i saw asked
"Is this the End of the World?"


these kinds of interaction tactics are good


here is a inventory of literary effects that seem to ask for interaction:
- dramatic text with spelling mistakes or bad grammar - this engages people because they want to correct the errors they see
- bragging - demands attention because people like to size themselves up to others
- promises of benefit
- threats
- anything inconsistent - neat appearance with vulgar writing / vulgar appearance with formal writing
- short bursts (the ECH meme bomb style)


add on
