The idea row is pretty obvious.
You're supposed to put a book which was a good idea but ended up as a bad book in the first column. A book which was a good idea and ended up as a good book belongs in the second column. I think you get the two other columns now.

I have no idea what "visuals" are supposed to be though.

>good visual go bad
attempt at visual aspect of the novel (cover, prose, sound of words etc) could be good but execution lacks
>good visual go good
all of the above except good
>bad visual go good
the visuals are supposed to be terrible and the author succeeds. example: ash in the Road by cormac mccarthy / many works of DFW
>bad visual go bad
author tries to make good visuals good but fails; thus bad goes bad. (not good go bad because the author's attempt at good is in itself bad)

OP, are you a native english speaker? I have never once in my life heard someone say the word "visuals" when talking about literature. I haven't even heard someone describe the image a book makes in your head past kids describing reading.

How can you possible compare that between two people? You can talk about the prose and the style and the aesthetic quality of the book, but the "visuals" depend on how creative a person is and their own real-life visual experience. this thread is insane.

>>9757650
Maybe its visual in the strictest sense of the word, but that's not how people talk about art. That's almost like saying music is visual because you use your eyes to look at the album or put a CD in. Paintings, movies, etc are visual because they are images you take in. You might see words in a book but you aren't appreciating the words because of how they look, it's just a way to get an idea across.

You don't "see" the meanings of the words, you can understand them and think about them and think about the scene in your head, but it still isn't a visual. Even if it's a mental visual, it still makes no sense to talk about it like that.

>>bad visual go bad
>author tries to make good visuals good but fails; thus bad goes bad. (not good go bad because the author's attempt at good is in itself bad)

The other three I can wrap my head around but this one makes no sense. Based on your point about "bad visual go good", shouldn't "bad visual go bad" refer to an attempt to create ugliness that fails. That would fulfill both the "bad visual" (the ugliness like your McCarthy example) and the "go bad" (the failure). Instead your example for "bad visual go bad" is an author attempting "good", not attempting "bad".

Also your definition of "good ideas" seems poorly defined. Is a "good idea" in your chart an idea that you personally agree with, or is it about the integration of the idea into the plot, or what? I'm particularly confused about Fahrenheit 451 being a "good idea gone bad" because I'm not sure whether you're saying that book-burning was an okay idea that got out of hand or if you mean that Bradbury had a good message that was delivered poorly.

English probably isn't your first language so I'm not going to openly mock you or anything. That being said, I think you are not quite up to a conversational/fluent level yet. Keep learning.
