Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- ‘yeah, well, there was a time when these stories actually made sense!’

July 14, 2016 By

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

500-2

 

Were I to hold forth on the rules and requirements of this, zoe’s  Six Sentence Story, would I risk being accused of writing an introduction, ‘by the book’?

To escape the accusation of over-research and (a) contrived premise, could I suggest that, in the course of this introduction, I am practicing a rhetorical device, much as I did in last week’s Six? Not without risk, I might add, as to attempt both would surely test the good temper of you, the Reader. So, then, to the story! It’s generally accepted that Shakespeare, in having Juliet say to Romeo, ‘You kiss by the book’, was, in fact, making a reference to the secret handshakes employed by members of the Rosicrucian Order, of which William was a member of very high standing. I would tell more, enough to convince you beyond doubt of his involvement, were it not for the fact that I have only Six Sentences to tell this week’s story, the minimum number of sentences that might comprise a story legitimately employing a Narrator (reliable or otherwise).

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    So must doubt your reliability in future? I’d have never thought!

      the concept of ‘the un-reliable narrator’ as a rhetorical device just sounds so cool

      thank you, the pleasure is mine. Apropos of entirely nothing, I just remembered a snack food from childhood, ‘Scooter Pies’… and the thing I remember is that when they first came out, each one was in an open-dense wax paper sleeve…but soon they were packaged in a clear plastic seal wrapping. The waxed paper ones tasted better….
