Chapter 4
I like the idea of incorp0rating repetition into a story. I do not think it would be appropriate to constantly repeat yourself; however, using foreshadowing in places is a good use of repetition. I definitely think a variety of words should be used. A reader does not want to constantly hear the same words over and over again. Variation can be a good thing in writing. I think the type of repeptition used in the "Thunder Badger" is more reserved for poetry. Short stories do not usually have a rhythmic quality to them. But I believe a repetition of certain signs-colors, animals, numbers, ect-can be useful if the author wanted to discreetly state an opinion. Hidden rhmes and rhythms can be useful in creating a short story that flows.
