Greatest English professor died today from a fall (a broken hip?) and complications leading to Hospice.
Franklin’s, writing for story, built on a universal structure for story. Like the limric, or the iambic pentamitor in poetry. Franklin insisted that every story consisted of five parts: a unique setting, a unique circumstance, a complication, an evolving struggle to resolve the situation leading to a climatic outcome. Franklin advanced this as a framework for non-fiction.
Franklin earned the highest regard as professor of English literature and writing at the University of Maryland. His book, Writing for Story, ranks as the leading guideline for creative non-fiction and for this author.
The Devil promises a utopia of worry-free egalitarianism beckoning you to an Orwellian hell of despondency. Its a matter of giving or taking. Work for your family and community supporting the common good, or take from the wealth of those who produce and promise benefits to those who do not and those destroyed by the theft of their own creation.
