| | Literary Elements: Lecture Outline |
 | | The literary quality of a fictional book is based not upon its popularity or the ease with which it can be read, but upon the quality of the literary elements found in the book. | | | Students who are unfamiliar with the literary elements or who need a greater understanding of literary quality than is presented here and in the text should read A Critical Handbook of Children's Literature, by Rebecca J. Lukens. | | | It is the hardest literary element to discuss; often we can recognize it but not put it into words. |

| | Advanced Fighting Fantasy - What is FF? |
| | STAMINA rated from one upwards, with the fictional hero of the book starting with anything from 14 to 24 (the roll of two die plus twelve). | | | This is done by making the reader assume the role of the main fictional character in the story from the beginning of the story to the end by allowing them to take the character down various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs. | | | As well as allowing the reader to control a fictional character down various paths of a story, the books also acted as an ingenious game that a reader could play individually by his or herself. |

| | Conversely, the ethnic or regional element should not be so dominant or pervasive that the student is unable to relate his own life experiences to the exotic convolutions presented. | | | If a Chinese detective is featured, he should not be considered for his detective skills alone, but his background as determined by his ethnicity should be important to all elements of the novel. | | | Both are fictional prose narratives, relating certain events in a detailed, organized manner, but the novels greater length may tell us more about the characters, may contain both plot and subplots, may have different settings, may employ several flashbacks, points of view, and themes. |

| | As for the story that strings the scenes together, though it promised well, with almost every possible element of fictional excitement--buried treasure, and spies, and abductions, and secrets--somehow the result was not wholly up to the expectation thus created. | | | Birds are evidently being put upon their mettle by the aeroplanes. | | | I've faithfully striven to imitate My Mentor in dress and diction, And loyally laboured to cultivate A taste for the latest fiction; Though I still read DICKENS upon the sly, And even SCOTT, when nobody's by. |

| | If a pseudo-element breaks up a real element the necessary extra tags must be regenerated in the fictional tag sequence. | | | This allows precise control over the vertical position of elements (such as images that are used in place of letters) that don't have a baseline. | | | E.g., a value of '-100%' will lower the element so that the baseline of the element ends up where the baseline of the next line should have been. |
