Talk:The Lady Daffodilia

Missing Information

There are a few sections that we would love to have included in this page, but were unable to find credible sources with such information. These sections include: reception (lack of reviews); adaptations and tributes (are there any?); themes (scholarly writing on topics found in story). We also found it odd that she was a suffragist, but there was apparent sexism in the story -- any thoughts? Totesdoom (talk) 23:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC)totesdoom

I feel as if you need to describe your characters a little more in depth to get the vivid image in the reader's eye and to build a stronger image of what the storyline protrays. Descripition such as flat, round, dynamic, protagonist rather than describing what they accomplish in the story would help with this picture. Nessyb (talk) 00:43, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Rationale for Topics

Plot Summary: The plot summary is an important section to include as it fosters a greater understanding of the short story.

Character Descriptions: By providing character descriptions, we feel that the audience is better able to understand the characters and their actions within the context of the story.

Author Bio: It is important to understand the context from which the story was written, and therefore an understanding of the author is helpful. Totesdoom

Sequence of Topics Rationale

Topics are ordered in terms of decreasing importance. Plot is first because it is necessary for the audience to comprehend the story before they can begin their own inspection. Character description follows this as it relies on an understanding of the plot to be useful to the audience. The author bio comes last as it is not directly related to the topic of the Wikipedia page: the short story itself. Totesdoom

It would be great if you could line up the pictures with the sections that they correspond to, it just feels like they are a little off London93 (talk) 04:55, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

It would nice if the sections were expanded a bit

Which sections would you like to see expanded? How might a longer list of minor characters or a longer plot summary improve your understanding of the story? SeMelmoth (talk) 16:53, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
