learning from donna tartt's the goldfinch chapter 4: morphine lollipop (early novel spoilers ahead!)

chapter 4 sees theo meeting pippa (whose story mirrors theo's in some ways) for the first time since the explosion, as well as the beginning of theo's friendship with hobie, and the return of his father a year after he left theo and his mother.

particularly with the introduction of theo's father and his new partner xandra, i've been thinking a lot about dialogue as a characterisation tool. dialogue is probably the thing i struggle with most when writing fiction. i find it difficult to write convincing dialogue that isn't stiff. there's a scene in this chapter where theo has been taken out to dinner at a touristy restaurant, shortly before leaving for las vegas. the dialogue in this scene, as his father tells a story about the budding acting career he had in his youth, is masterful at revealing his father to be a jaded, delusional man without ever explicitly saying it, by having him relay a story that has no real connection to the plot. it's really clever. the two of them really remind me of my rotten uncle and his wife.

chapters 2 and 3 see theo, in the days after the death of his mother, uprooted from his home and navigating his brand new life without her, swamped by the bureaucracy of being an orphaned child.

i connected to the long passages detailing the way grief colours the world around you. the way people don’t know how to behave, or what to say. the feeling of being alien, newly displaced from the familiar routines of your own life. it reminded me a lot of myself, eight years ago, in school the day after the death of my friend. the wave of shock that buoyed me through those strange days, the strange and awkward texts i would get from my peers, the friends who left me behind because they didnt know how to deal with my grief and would rather not speak to me again than have an awkward conversation about it, the teachers who would keep me aside after class and tell me about their own trauma as a way to make me feel less alone.

learning from donna tartt's the goldfinch chapter one: boy with a skull

i spent some time today with the first chapter of donna tartt’s the goldfinch, and thought i could write a series of blog posts about reading this novel for the first time, and discovering how it can inform my own writing. 

what i immediately love about tartt's writing is the commitment to detail. she doesn't leave a stone unturned in the narrative - everything is specific and vivid, which allows for very tangible characterisation. i felt as though i really saw her descriptions, particularly of the streets of new york in the rain, and the met in ruins.

i highlighted this passage because i was impressed by how much movement, tension, mood, and character study tartt can fit in a single sentence. it's a real skill to be able to pull a reader into the narrative like that and imo can only be achieved through the perfect balance of detail and pacing.

The Reason For, by MwsR In the quiet of the day When thoughts start to invade There are reflections that appear Maybe of a person, you hold dear. What is their significance in your life Do they pose something for you without strife? We must reflect only to direct To change our focus perhaps, We don’t need to relapse.

Test Bank for Statistics Learning from Data 1st Edition by Roxy Peck

STATISTICS: LEARNING FROM DATA, by respected and successful author Roxy Peck, resolves common problems faced by both students and instructors with an innovative approach to elementary statistics. Peck tackles the areas students struggle with most–probability, hypothesis testing, and selecting an appropriate method of analysis–unlike any text on the market. Probability coverage is based on current research that shows how students best learn the subject. Two unique chapters, one on statistical inference and another on learning from experiment data, address two common areas of student confusion: choosing a particular inference method and using inference methods with experimental data. Supported by learning objectives, real-data examples and exercises, and technology notes, this brand new text guides students in gaining conceptual understanding, mechanical proficiency, and the ability to put knowledge into practice.
