(A) stream of consciousness

The stream of consciousness is a relatively new literary technique used by modern writers in which the writer takes a reader into the mind of the character and is allowed insight into his/her conscious and unconscious thoughts and desires. The fragmented sentences are used to represent the way thoughts keep jumping about in our minds.
