Clear that Pace and Anecdote are weaknesses

3. PACE
Upping the Pace: Make the reader want to go on to the next page to see what happens
Fast action and rapid sequencing--
Short transitions in between scenes
Big plot moments one right after the other
Less Description
Time Jumping—
Spanning several days or years in a short section of the novel
Cliffhangers—
leaving parts out to be picked up in the next scene

4. PACE
Slowing It Down: passages that contain a great deal of detail to establish scenes and build suspense
Containing longer sentences, paragraphs and chapters
Feels slower than other parts of the story
Sets tone & mood
Allows for character development & symbol
Switching the narrative's focus to another subplot
Allows the reader to catch his breath between visceral action sequences.

8. Important Things to Remember
These play a huge role in DI:

DI is much like tone & mood:
Tone = attitude of the speaker on the subject
Mood=is the feeling YOU get when you read certain parts

What patterns exist within the text that make it a part of other works like it (genre)?
What patterns exist within the text that make it a product of a larger culture (American)?
What patterns exist within the text that connect it to the larger "human" experience (Universalism)?
