what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

'Media Res' is just a fancy term for a narrative of telling a story, beginning at the midpoint. Instead of narrating the story in order of events, it begins in the middle of the plot.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

how would you write this in media res ? Using 3 sentences One winter, a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."

There are multiple ways to do this, I suppose. You're starting at the middle of the plot and feeding the reader information as the story continues to the end.Hmmm..

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

so we can start with the biting ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
