Events should have "public" and "private" aspects. #9

Description

Events should have both "private" and "public" aspects, although either aspect could be optional. When they appear in a paragraph, if it is written from the event-initiator's point of view, use the private aspect. Otherwise, use the public one.

Examples:

  • "It was so nice being in the kitchen again!" is private; the public aspect might be "Alice was clearly overjoyed to be in the kitchen again."
  • "Alice thought she heard something." is private; the public aspect might be "Alice moved her head suddenly, as if she had heard something in the distance."
  • "Bob saw Alice." is private; the public aspect might be "Bob looked at Alice."

Or again, just to emphasize, there might not be a public aspect for an event, in which case it should not appear if the paragraph is written from some other actor's point of view.
