Resumen del Editor
All successful writers use resonance to enhance their stories by drawing power from stories that came before, by resonating with their audiences' experiences, and by resonating within their own works. In this book, you'll learn exactly what resonance is and how to use it to make your stories more powerful. You'll see how it is used in literature and other art forms, and how one writer, J. R. R. Tolkien, mastered it in his work.

Historia

Roy Peter Clark, one of America’s most influential writing teachers, wants to change that by putting the glamour back into grammar.

Paris, 1933: Three contemporaries meet over apricot cocktails at the Bec-de-Gaz bar on the rue Montparnasse. They are the young Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and longtime friend Raymond Aron, a fellow philosopher who raves to them about a new conceptual framework from Berlin called phenomenology. "You see," he says, "if you are a phenomenologist, you can talk about this cocktail and make philosophy out of it!"

This close look at Wonder Woman's history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman with a golden lasso and bullet-deflecting bracelets. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time, advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the 1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often as she saved the world.

Historia
In the early 17th century, a crippled, graying, almost toothless veteran of Spain's wars against the Ottoman Empire published a novel. It was the story of a poor nobleman, his brain addled from studying too many novels of chivalry, who deludes himself that he is a knight errant and sets off on hilarious adventures. That story, Don Quixote, went on to sell more copies than any other book beside the Bible, making its author, Miguel de Cervantes, the single most-read author in human history.

When Lucy Mangan was little, stories were everything. They opened up new worlds and cast light on all the complexities she encountered in this one. She was whisked away to Narnia and Kirrin Island and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens and chocolate factories. She wandered the countryside with Milly-Molly-Mandy and played by the tracks with the Railway Children.

Conceived nearly a century ago by a man who died believing himself a failure, it's now a revered classic and a rite of passage in the reading lives of millions. But how well do we really know The Great Gatsby? As Maureen Corrigan, Gatsby lover extraordinaire, points out, while Fitzgerald's masterpiece may be one of the most popular novels in America, many of us first read it when we were too young to fully comprehend its power.

Even better than it sounds
This book is more than the title reveals. It gives you methods for worldbuilding and story ideas. It proves that creativity has more to do with connecting elements that already exist than trying to come up with ideas out of thin air. If you write novels like I do, then you might find this to be a relief. -Jason Parker

I found this book short and concise and very helpful in my endeavor. I thought it was a lot like allegory. I think that could be brought up to contract and enhance the resonance.

Provides ideas based on common sense
The idea of external Resonance simply means that all story elements and attributes should reflect or be derived from literature found in the same genre, and should reflect the target group's life experience and interests. Another aspect is internal Resonance by repeating and building up of a thematic story element (like the character(s)experiencing variations of a tunnel experience, or something else) towards the dramatic outcome.
The idea of using foreign or old languages to create names by combining/mixing/tweaking meaningful words ( dark+father = Darth Vader; Gandalf, ...) that reflect the characters traits is interesting, hoping that the sound of the invented name expresses the characters traits.
That's the main takeaway, for me.
The narration is sub standard.
