Why They Write

Students in the Imaginative Writing class tell why they write. Some of the responses are very "imaginative"--for instance, "I am a demon and the last of my kind." There's a cool surprise at the end of this video.

I wish I could tell you how impressed I am by your videos. They're evocative, provoking, endearing. Is that you saying, "Keep playing." in the last one?

Theresa Williams said...

Cyn, yes, that is me saying, "Keep playing"! :-)

I didn't really get the end, but it's still very cool.

Theresa Williams said...

Robin, yes, I know, I was being too obscure. The young woman at the end wrote a poem which is an epitaph for the Bush Administration. :-)

Theresa, you must be flying. I`m so enjoying catching up with your journal.
Teaching that class would seem to be a wellspring for you.
This is really wonderful.

About Me

My photo
Northwest Ohio, United States
"I was no better than dust, yet you cannot replace me. . . Take the soft dust in your hand--does it stir: does it sing? Has it lips and a heart? Does it open its eyes to the sun? Does it run, does it dream, does it burn with a secret, or tremble In terror of death? Or ache with tremendous decisions?. . ." --Conrad Aiken

Fave Painting:  The Three Ages of Man and Death

From the First Chapter

The Secret of Hurricanes : That article in the Waterville Scout said it was Shake- spearean, all that fatalism that guides the Kennedys' lives. The likelihood of untimely death. Recently, another one died in his prime, John-John in an airplane. Not long before that, Bobby's boy. While playing football at high speeds on snow skis. Those Kennedys take some crazy chances. I prefer my own easy ways. Which isn't to say my life hasn't been Shake-spearean. By the time I was sixteen, my life was like the darkened stage at the end of Hamlet or Macbeth. All littered with corpses and treachery.
