"If
you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall,
in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not
going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there."

The exercise we did last Thursday goes a long with this. The whole strategic planning of setting and location has helped me in my narrative paper and has helped me get the mood I want in my paper. Thanks! :)
i also agree with that. It has also helped me with my paper in the planning of it. Good exercise.
I found that all the exercises we did in class has helped with my writing.
I followed what you talked about by having a flashback sort of thing happening in the begining of my essay. It's a good hook to have an intense opening that later gets referred back to as you continue to read along.
