Vignette

What Is a "Vignette"?

A vignette, which translates (in French) to "little vine," is a brief, impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or character and gives a salient (sensory-based) impression about that character, an idea, setting, and/or object. It's a short, descriptive passage (or passages) that are more about evoking meaning through imagery than it is about "plot."

Your focal point should be relatively clear. We write about personal, memory-based images that come to mind as we meditate on certain topics and elaborate on them.

Vignettes are not essays, or mini-essays. They are not rhetorical in nature, although the hope is that the story itself will provoke interesting and related memories for the reader.  Who is your reader?  

This means that an author need not declare to the reader what is important or meaningful about the narrative being shared. The brief piece should stand alone.  No explanations.

Well, so how long Ms. Lane??  Three paragraph minimum. Fifth-grade style.  Show us with your words, describe - in a new way.

What does provoke mean? stimulate (a person, animal, etc.) to action - to give rise to, induce -
