Stream-of-Consciousness Definition: Long passages of introspection, in which the narrator records in detail what passes through a character's awareness. Often follows a non-linear thought process and "goes into the mind" of the character. Think about mind vomit put onto paper. Very experimental. Example - from The Rules of Attraction, by Bret Easton Ellis: and it's a story that might bore you but you don't have to listen, she told me, because she always knew it was going to be like that, and it was, she thinks, her first year, or, actually weekend, really a Friday, in September, at Camden...She actually had her eye on someone else that night: Daniel Miller, a Senior, a Drama major, with blond hair, a great body and these amazing gray eyes, but he was seeing this beautiful French girl from Ohio, and he eventually got mono and went to Europe and never finished his Senior year.
