Speeches and Peaches


Friends, teachers, fellow students-who didn't push it to the limit like i did so radically. In the game of life there are rock stars and there are police officers who can pull you over if your roll higher then a ten. The police officer is like a a long hollow tube, filled with all the money you get each time someone rolls higher then a ten. now if you decreased the tubs circumference by 1/2, you would have a tube roughly twice its original length- now why would you do that? This is why we learn. This is the question of life. Why... Why would you do that to the tube? If I could quote the great Michel Rivard, "I have but two things to say to you: Celery and Sidewalk. Thank you, good night." Thank you good night.

The Thrice is Suffice


I have chosen prompt three, as in the Thrice is suffice. I have yet to really penetrated my book deeply with regards to character and plot development. What I noticed is that there has yet to be an event that has hit me as powerful. I really felt as though all that I've read. The suspense and uncertainty of McCarthy's writing was the mot powerful thing. Nothing really happened but there was so much feeling that wasn't written on the paper. The first page even. "Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one then what had gone before. Like the onset of some cold glaucoma dimming away the world." Nearly all the description from his writing went this deep. It was slow but powerful, a Behemoth of the written word.
