E-lit Example

           To emulate the idea of quickness, I used the E-lit example of Faith by Robert Kendall. Faith is a poem that reveals itself in five successive states and each new state is put over or in front of a previous one, incorporating the old and the new words together. Each new state uses the previous one to bring forth another argument. As the text unfolds, the music that plays with it relates to the words and movement of the words.

          Faith incorporates ideas of quickness because as the text is unfolding, your mind is quickly trying to focus on what word will come next. The movement of the words is pretty fast as they turn and come from different directions on the page. The story spreads out with time as you read each new sentence that is being formed. Just like the magician, the reader is fooled by what will come next in the story as well as where and when the next words will fall.
