Classmate Response 1, Week 6

Junkyard Quote 3, Wk 5 by David

"Wait, so tornadoes tap dance all over your schools, and your punishment is that you have to stay in school til 3:30 like everyone else?" - Me, talking to a friend on Facebook

Utilizing social networking sites for junk expands your writing fodder to another level. The conversations back and forth become this disjointed discussion where the visceral aspects of day to day living provide bits of specific writing material. “Tornadoes tap dance” gave me this very strong expression of how frequent the tornadoes may hit the location. This line alone could be the beginning of a piece, or used in a larger dialogue piece. You could pursue writing a whole dialogue on Facebook between two friends about the weather, but it isn’t really about the weather; something about their friendship that wont come out in person, or anything you’d like.
