This week we continued learning more about short shorts. We got into groups and read a short short that was assigned to us and identified the characteristics of it. We rewrote a paragraph of the short short following the author's style and presented it to the class. Shortly after every group presented, we briefly learned about scene vs. summary.
As I read Monday's reading assignment, which consisted of reading some short shorts, I could not help but to be taken away by some of those short shorts. The more lengthy one captivated my mind and maintained it. I noticed myself at first not really interested and did not really feel like reading those just because it seemed that it might take a bit to read it all. I decided to give it a shot to see what was the short story about. After a few paragraphs I felt wanting to continue and see what happens next. When I finally arrived at the end, I felt a little disappointed because it ended. I have really enjoyed reading short shorts. Right now I am working on the assignment that is due tomorrow, Monday, by five. I am having a bit of difficult starting it. It usually takes me a while to think of something to write about though.
I find it interesting that people from different background and culture add their own mix of elements in traditional forms of art. Although two different people can be describing the same scene; the wording, tone, emotion, and various styles being incorporated are not the same.
