The Piece of Paper

A piece of paper that has been precariously thrown onto the floor could pose different situations within different types of text;

Mystery/Crime: It could be a clue, a jigsaw piece that is noticed by the detective, or concealed when noticed by a suspect.

Romance: A love letter, screwed up and tossed aside in anger. Or a draft of a letter to a far away lover.

Horror: The paper could contain a photo of a horrific scene, or perhaps a letter to scare a person that had been thrown down in worry/horror.

Comedy: A prop that could be used in a pun.

Tragedy: A letter from 'beyond the grave' written by the hero/heroine to be found after a terrible incident.

Lesson 17.09.2010

After thinking about what we discussed on Friday's lesson and deciding what to post on this blog, I have been considering what interested me. When we talked about sequences and memory, and viewing the clip of the film 'Memento', it made me think about how things are sequenced in life and if they are set out to be this way. Slightly philosophical, but very interesting.
