THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[Mindy]

F said there are hints in the book that help you with the clues. So, to me, the hints in the book help to confirm you have the right definition/meaning of the words in the poem.

You can't dismiss F's very straightforward statements, like:

"Not all the nouns in ttotc are important."

"Pay attention to the nouns." (Paraphrasing--can't remember exact quote)

He looked up every word of the poem in the dictionary. He's bent some word meanings for effect. He's made up words where if you know what he means, it's all good.

Words are important. The pictures are important too, because the words point to them.

It all weaves the strings together. One story strings to another.

Consecutive order does not have to mean VISUAL order. Consecutive order could mean events happening in the past, then the present, then the future. The poem doesn't follow visual order of past, present, future.

Consecutive could also be described as he described "My Hit Parade," from the bottom (10) to the number one song.

The reason why the clues haven't been given to F in order is probably because they fail to consider all the possible ways the clues can be in "consecutive" order.

All through the book, he encourages us to use more than our sight to experience things.

When you read a novel or watch a movie, sometimes characters have flashbacks and go back in time. Events presented in these kinds of movies and books don't happen in the consecutive order of TIME. What happened first? What happened second? What happened last? Flashbacks often happen to show why a character makes a certain decision, or why they are the way they are.

So, when F says "consecutive" or "in order," there are several ways this can be done other than the visual order of the poem.

And no, I'm not a "victim." Never a victim, but I'm going to call out bad behavior every time.

Kpro instigated with her comment that had nothing to do with the OP, but was simply a dig at me. She can do that if she wants, but I'll call her out on it, every time.

If she paid attention to the details like she harps on everyone else to do, then maybe she wouldn't say stupid stuff.
