How I Used Oblique Strategies
- Repetition is a form of change: The opening scene plays with echoing sounds and repeated actions, emphasizing how small shifts create meaning.
- What would your closest friend do?: The protagonist recalls how her friend Riya would have reacted differently, contrasting fear with fearlessness.
- Discard an axiom : The letter scene ignores conventional letter-writing rules, fragmenting thoughts into a nonlinear form.
- Emphasize the flaws The house is described through its imperfections rather than its features, making it feel alive.
- Reverse the order: The ending loops back to the beginning, creating a circular narrative where time folds in on itself.
