HW 24
A story about a man who is poor. He's poor because he doesn't care about money. He doesn't go with a particular name, changes every time. He's a philosopher who wants to know the answer to the question "why" in its most basic form. he doesn't have any rules just to do whatever make him happy...and i mean whatever. He doesn't care about the consequences he will face, he's willing to try anything new. Overall, he doesn't take anything seriously. He doesn't take drama seriously, he doesn't take romance seriously, he doesn't take death seriously. The problem he faces is self destruction. He's so open minded, yet he shuts himself from society, that he develops split personalities. He talks to himself, he thinks to himself, he creates his own world, and questions societies way of thinking. How would world peace look like? Is it really good? What's the point of living? Is Earth a place that prepares us for the afterlife? Is there even an afterlife? And in the end dies. In a note he left behind, he wrote, i have tried everything. This is just another experiment.

This is a very confusing stories, because in some ways it seems like he is a cool person since he has some insights about the world. Also, he thinks and be aware of things around him. But what makes him very lame was that he doesn't care about this and that. Although in class we mentioned "not care" is an element that is consider "cool". In your story, it doesn't seem that way. "Not caring" about "anything seriously" actually makes him a very lame person to me.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very good point in your story that sometimes not caring is not necessary "cool" all the time.
To Richard Y,
ReplyDeleteYour story makes me laugh, and thats why i have to leave you a comment. Your story is a little bit confusing and off topic but it is still funny to read about a man who doesnt give a shit about anything. Toward the end, you came up with a point about how he is asking himself question. He is very open minded,that when i got confused. But i like your story. good job
Richard,
ReplyDeleteI like the way your story is told. It's like when people tell stories around a camp fire, short enough to be told within an hour or so, but long enough to have details that make it meaningful.
