問題詳情
請依下文回答第 6 題至第 10 題A writer is not the same thing as a tale-teller. First of all, the tale-teller, like the actor, must respond to animmediate audience. His art is a performance: the instrument is the spoken voice, backed up by facial expression andgesture. In some ways the writer of books, like the graffiti artist, is freer than the tale-teller: he does not perform infront of an audience or stick around for feedback. Secondly, a tale-teller in the midst of his tale can improvise—butonly within limits: he can digress or add details but cannot revise the beginning. Like a film seen in a theater, his storyruns one way only. The writer, on the other hand, can scratch his way through draft after draft, laboring over the shapesof sentences, striving for exactly the right word, and throwing characters’ names out of the window—indeed, throwingthe whole characters out of the window. Thirdly, a physical book gives the illusion of permanence. It also gives theimpression of static form, of immutability—this and no other is the order of the words. A particular incarnation of anorally-transmitted tale, however, dies when the specific tale-teller dies. A tale actually changes from teller to teller.

(A) He can change the name of his characters in the midst of his writing.
