I have an idea for a new approach to creative works. Not just writing but all forms of art. My idea here is to forget about established characteristics of quality and instead to focus solely on the entertainment factor.
Medium editors, this means that grammatical or spelling errors are left in there by design, so please do not fix them!
So here is my attempt at this creative form:
AMSTERONGpbj_5MILLYUN died from an Uzi knifle and is now a ghost. Trapped in a balloon. But where did the balloon came from? After which he forgot how to live. Cause he dead.
Trapped in a balloon. One day the ghost saw his sister skiing and rolled over to see her. “Hi,” he said. But it came out like “quack.”
The sister did n ot notice. She packed her stuff and left.
Tomorrow, she receives a call from her niece. “talks in Polish.” The two finish talking and leave. The call was to ask the sister about plans for seeing each other. The sister said she was too busy with work and her dead brother.
Winter rolls around. The sister was huddling under the blanket to keep warm. Suddenly, she heard a voice. It was her phone talking to her.
“Hi”
“Hi,” the sister said nervously.
“I’m lonely,” said the phone.
“You shouldn’t have feelings,” exclaimed the sister.
What do you mean, you don’t understand politics well?
I mean that whenever I try to figure out my political beliefs, it’s like a guessing game. I’m going off of very little information. I don’t think my politics mean anything, and I would rather listen to other people’s views than contribute to the conversation.
But you almost finished your sociology degree?
Yes, I am four years into a five-year degree.
But you must be struggling with the course material, right?
No. In terms of university grades, I’m a straight-A student and I understand everything in the course.
But you just said that you don’t understand politics well?
I mean, I can comprehend some theories, but this knowledge was gained through readings and lectures. The issue is, I have no first-hand experience with politics. I have not graduated, found a place to live, started a career, or tried to survive on my own yet. So while I understand what is being covered, it doesn’t have any personal meaning to me.
Also, I should add that while sociology classes cover politics sometimes, they do not revolve around it like a political science class does. Sociology does not just cover politics but can cover family, education, symbols, labour, and so on.
When are you expecting to get an adequate understanding of politics?
A few years from now. Five, at the most.
Does this mean that young people don’t know anything about politics?
No, there are opportunities for young people to get involved in that if they wish.
Any final words?
Some things you can’t learn in a classroom. I think everybody knows this, and this is why recent graduates are at the bottom of the job barrel. Still, it can be interesting and valuable to learn about the specific skills that you won’t obtain from a bachelor’s degree.
