Enigma
Noun
A person or thing that is mysterious or difficult to
understand.
My
Definition and Understanding:
·
An Enigma is an idea or thing that can build suspense and
tension but can also be broken by revealing the unknown.
In class we were discussing enigma when we came to the
conclusion that you can't have enigma without convention.
Convention
Noun
·
A ingredient of something
·
The way something is usually/typically done.
Below there is a mind map that we did as a class to
explore the other ways enigma can be created.
Reflection:
I personally think the concept of enigma is being
surprised. I say this because as the mind map displays; lying is another way of
creating enigma and I believe that is true. Enigma is the suspense that is built
when we unsure of something so when someone lies, you become unsure because the
truth is what you want. Than when the truth is revealed the enigma has been
broken and exposed causing the person to be surprised.
This may be a more
confusing way of seeing the meaning of enigma but to me it is clear enough.
