I'm from India, and I remember studying this poem in 7th standard.... Now I'm pursuing my graduation in English Literature (Hons.) Thanks for the video ❤

At what point does showing get excessive? Is there a “golden” ration of showing to telling?

Алиса, как не волноваться перед выступлением

I feel like in certain points of what you're writing, combining showing and telling can be more influential on your reader.

Hey, Benjamin, is it valid even when we are writing essays? Or is it just for when we are telling stories or talking to someone, for example? Because, based on my experience, whenever I was requested to write an essay, they always recommended to be concise and more specific. I'm not sure if I'm being clear enough, but that's my best

❤

Simple minds need simple meanings. Not all who read can draw the same conclusion not stated, but infered. Difficult when learning a new language. You get my point.

That's a great explanation and showing the diffrences made the video way more better❤

thank you so much :)

Just make sure as beginning writers that show don’t tell is a rather modern Zeitgeist of writing stories and more practical for screenwriters and less for novelist, obviously you can still use it but the only real advice is to read through your favourite novels to determine what is your flavour. And then try to find a balance between those two techniques. It’s like saying never write in second person but that would of diminished many beautiful prose to come.

There's always exception 😵‍💫

Fast forward to 2024, we are trying to delete the filler words

A similar occurrence has happened in Aotearoa/New Zealand. My generation - I'm 70 and grew up listening - on the local news - to what we thought of as BBC aka 'posh' English. Many of the moneyed sections of society - large landowners/doctors/lawyers/the Professionals spoke with what we considered an 'affected' or 'posh' way of speaking. That has completely changed now, with the modern generation speaking with an American influenced e.g. 'Hey bro' vernacular which has become very widespread, and which, depending on one's viewpoint, could be considered 'cool' or amongst many of us oldies as 'crude' or 'crass'... take your pick!
