The Stalking Project Helps!

The stalking project helps writers become more observant so they can focus on the tiny little details. It is a useful exercise that makes the writer see what may not be observed at a quick first glance. It also makes the writer analyze a subject more thoroughly. These excercized techniques allow a writer to draw other applicable concepts, symbols, and descriptions to the object that they would not have associated with it before. They strengthen the writer’s ability to draw comparisons between two objects so the writer can write more drastically. Instead of just explaining the object in terms that everyone uses, this process helps writers discover a new and exciting way to express the details of an object. This exercise was made to help writers develop a more descriptive way of writing about one simple object.

The metaphors that writers had to develop in this project helped strengthen their ability to relate the objects they are describing to others. This method not only allows a writer to be more descriptive, but also engages them in developing a more meaningful passage that the reader is more likely to understand. Using relative terms or relative objects when describing the primary object allows a reader to develop a stronger understanding of what the primary object appears to be like, even if he/she has not seen it before. Methaphors pose as a strong way to help the reader relate to your work, because if they are unable to understand what the primary object is that you are describing in detail, they may be more likely to understand it when metaphors are used to describe it.
