  1. Netting

  2. All great writers use Netting. • In our everyday lives, we create simple lists to trap our thoughts: grocery lists, things-to-do lists, guests lists, etc. • We forget to take advantage of listing when we write essays. • Great writers do not forget.

  3. Netting can be a series of clauses joined together with commas, semi-colons, or long sentences combined with short, incomplete sentences. • Netting can be a catalog of situations, a litany of complaints, or intriguing images.

  4. Lists can be helpful in essays as a way of defining or exemplifying a particular abstract concept.

  5. Be Careful • You can’t simply list. You have to give consideration to the order, presentation of the list. • You are essentially juxtaposing the words which function as examples, associations of larger concepts.

  6. Specificity • All effective nettings have specific details. • Consider if you were creating a list of “Things that are green” you might include trees – but reality becomes more sharply edged when you give it a name – A Douglas Fir.

  7. Sizing • Creating netting doesn’t mean you reduce the list to single words (lists that are longer than two lines get boring to read). • Consider the following netting • Gluttony: gobble, gulping, gorging, gross, greedy, hungry, indulge, feasting, fat, obese, overeating, piggy, hefty, large, stuff, surplus, saturation, voracious

  8. Sizing • Even though there was specificity, the list defeated the very purpose of its existence. • Consider the following netting using the same topic of gluttony.

  9. Gluttony • Thanksgiving dinner or a New Year’s eve party: overindulgent, guzzling, swinish belly-worship – praying to the porcelain god…the summer of love, wild, wolfish appetite for destruction. The Vampire Lestate, omnivorous, wasteful, shopoholic, sin. Gluttony is an emotional escape: a sign something is eating you: depression, austerity, spareness.

  10. Juxtaposition • Juxtaposition is simply where you place two items or images next to each other. When you use juxtaposition, you can create meaningful ideas. • Consider the previous example where the longer statements were juxtaposed next to single word entries.

  11. More Examples • Look at the PDF on the website for additional examples of netting. For one of your journal entries, complete the workout following the examples. • Also, consider the first exercise we did in the class: I am… • How could that piece be developed into a netting example?
