Introduction

Hey! 👋

This is the third lesson in our series about emotion in narrative.

In lesson 1 we examined what emotions do in narrative, and learned to model emotion-behaviour loops.
In lesson 2 we explored ways to represent emotion in narrative writing.
In this final lesson we will try to figure out how to evoke an emotional response in the reader. 🥰🤣😲😭

Evoking emotion in the reader is one of the greatest challenges in writing—so this lesson is quite a challenge.

If you're ready, let's dive in. 🌊

This lesson contains images of deceased members of Indigenous communities.
