What is the integrated move?Show answer
Every integrated point follows the same shape, even though it can start from either end.
What is a fused poetry point?Show answer
"The poem's grief is built grammatically as much as imagistically: the relentless present-tense verbs hold the loss as ongoing and unhealed, while the single shift into the perfective ('has gone') fixes one fact as irreversible, and the sea imagery they sit within gives that grammar a vast, indifferent backdrop. The tense is the feeling." Grammar and image read as one effect.
What is a fused prose point?Show answer
"The narration slides into free indirect discourse through the grammar of an unattributed question and a colloquial intensifier, so the character's panic colours the third-person voice without a 'she thought'; the reader is placed inside a mind while the narrator keeps a foothold outside it. The technique and its effect are inseparable." Narrative method read through grammar.
