What to Expect From a Passage
Captions available
The idea
Plain diction, a small vocabulary used repeatedly, form that may be fixed or absent, prose that renders a mind rather than reporting events, and no assumption that the reader shares a frame of reference. Five expectations, and the last is the sharpest break.
In practice
Five expectations, one sharp break.
Where people slip
No shared frame is assumed.
