Essential Question Notes

Question 1: How do authors hook and hold readers?  Neurological Fiction hooks and holds it's readers by giving real factual information and stories that maybe the reader can relate to. This helps the pages turn faster. In my book, Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks, the first chapter tells a story about a surgeon, Tony Cicoria, who is struck by lightning and has had sudden "musicophilia". Musicophilia is the sudden infatuation with the creating and listening of music.

Question 2: How do _writers persuade their readers?  Neurological Fiction persuades the readers to delve into the subject of the brain more after reading one chapter. These types of books intrigue me so much because of their creative writing and styles of portraying stories.

Question 3: What is the relationship between _and truth?  Neurological fiction and truth are connected in a very big way. Because it is nonfiction, and because neurological nonfiction writers require a medical background, everything is meticulously researched and created in a certain way that is easily applicable to the reader’s life, and easy to take in while reading.

Question 4: What truths are best communicated through this genre?  Neurological fiction describes very detailed and vivid stories that definitely can not be made up. The story of the lighting strike that was mentioned before, gave me such inspiration to learn more about the brain that I went to different resources to learn about this story more and more.

Question 5: What kind of medical background did the author have to write this book?  Oliver Sacks received his medical degree at Oxford’s University. He has been a practicing Neurologist in New York City since 1965.

Question 6: Are most Neurological Nonfiction books written by doctors or medical officials?  Yes, Oliver Sacks did not write any books while without a degree in the medical field. I think that he makes his books readable to everyday people because by simplifying intense subjects such as musicophilia.

Question 7: How does the genre Neurological Nonfiction influence other authors of the same or similar genre?  It influences other authors because Oliver Sacks, author of Musicophilia, references other books by other authors such as Synaesthesia: Classic and Contemporary Readings by Simon Baren-Cohen and John Harrison.

Question 8: What is the significance in this topic?  It is not researched often, and I believe that the book Musicophilia sparked many other authors and physicians to delve into the field of neurology in research and writing.
