mosesjohnsen: Amy Tan speaking about creativity ? UW English ...

I?ve recently watched this TEDTalk, and I was particularly interested in what Amy?calls ?moral ambiguity? which has to do with the discrepancy between authorial intention and actual effect ? an interesting topic for those of us who are into creative writing.

I hope you enjoy it.?>> http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_tan_on_creativity.html?<<? Any thoughts?

Discussion Questions:

  • To what extent do you consider the possible effect that your work might have on a given audience?
  • To what extent can a writer be held responsible for the effect that his/her work has?
  • What are the ways in which a writer can control the effect of a literary work?? What are some of the things that a writer cannot control?? (For those of you who have taken or are taking any Literary Criticism courses, feel free to pull a Stanley Fish, or an Immanuel Kant, or an Edward Corbett.)
