This is another (but more recent) assignment I had to do for my creative writing class. I titled mine "Rhetorical Questions for a Cork" because.. that was basically the assignment.
Once again, I had to randomly choose a word written on a slip of paper from a bag. The paper I chose had the word "cork" on it. Then (for the actual assignment lol) I had to write rhetorical questions based on the word ("cork").
And so, these are the questions I came up with.
~ <3 ~
1. How did he cork the drain at the bottom of the sea?
2. Why did the clouds cork the sunlight and its twin, the moonlight?
3. Can you give me the cork between your heart and soul?
4. Would you cork your identity to be accepted by the lack of humanity?
5. Will you please pass the grapes a cork to atone for your sins?
6. How many corks will it take to mask her pain?
7. Would a cork made out of honeycomb be as effective as one made out of tree bark and bones?
8. When did the corks fill up his lungs?
9. How many problems did a cork fix for them?
10. Was she afraid of the cork forcing her to conform?
11. Does a cork die when people uncork their wine bottles?
12. Do corks have that shape because they are a bottle's bullets?
13. Who did she see inside of the cork?
14. Did Alice get trapped between the inside of a cork and reality when she fell down the rabbit's hole?
15. Is a simple cork the strongest barrier between reality and the world we wish exists?
16. How many presidents cork the voices of their people?
17. How many trees were sacrificed to build a single cork for your bottle of sins?
18. Do wolves howl at the moon because they know that the moon is the cork of the sky?
19. How many more lives will end in order to strengthen the cork shared by the entitled few?
20. Why do we pour our emotions in bottles and cover each of them with a cork just to avoid the truth?
Yeah haha, that's my writing style. Being extra (and) deep with the majority of my creative writing class assignments so far. Now that I think about it, I don't know why I kept on bringing up "sins" (pfft haha).
The class before all that was due, we (as a class) had to read "The Book of Questions" by Pablo Neruda. It's full of rhetorical questions.
We had to read both the English (translated) and Spanish (original language).
About Spanish, I should start my online homework for that class. (eh..)
And on an unrelated note, I think I did well on my criminology test today..? I hope so.
Actually, have some more unrelated notes:
- I'm doing community service work on a farm tomorrow morning.
- I have a lot of post ideas in mind, and there's a chance I'll be making more posts in the next few hours.
Never mind, I'll just leave it at that.
Nice! Keeping busy I see. *Pfft* I liked the wine bottle cork line; make me giggle at the thought of thousands of corks dying everyday for our recreational pleasures. XD
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess I am. When I read this out loud for class, my professor had the same thought. (well, laughing and grieving over the corks. pfft)
