    Burroway Summary

    Burroway’s workshop piece explains to newly writing critics that phrasing is everything. While work shopping we shouldn’t be so critical and overly opinionated. She points out that this doesn’t seem natural at all because we are so used to “judging art.” Although it seems very much out of the comfort zone, working on feedback does help the writing and writers in general. Being too critical can insult the writer and not help them, so choosing different wording can deliver the same message without sounding harsh. Workshop is supposed to expand the writer’s options and help them better their stories. The best workshops take time and are prepared before discussion. Burroway also states that the story is under discussion not the writer, which we…

    Aristotle Poetics

    “Tragedy is an imitation of an action that is complete, whole, and of a certain magnitude… A whole is that which has a beginning, middle, and an end.” Aristotle further adds that the plot must follow a change of fortune. The plot starts off with a criminal named McMurphy, transferring to a mental institute for evaluation after raping a minor. He seems to find this a good way to avoid working in prison, but soon comes across conflicts with Nurse Mildred Ratched, who is in charge of all the patients there. Nurse Ratched frightens the patients, putting them through many unpleasant medial treatments. Seeing this, McMurphy takes on the role of “leader” over the patients, which includes Billy who has a stuttering issue, and Chief, a Native American who pretends to be deaf and mute but is sane. McMurphy tries to make the patients’ lives more adventurous by teaching the patients to steal a school bus to take the patients on a fishing trip and other activities. Nurse Ratched, sensing that she is losing control over her patients causes more complications. The climax reaches during the night of Christmas Eve, when McMurphy plans an escape with Chief. He asks Candy, a hooker girl to drop off some alcohol and pick him up, but fails to escape when he gets drunk and lets Billy sleep with Candy out of pity. When Nurse Ratched finds out the next morning, she is outraged and humiliates Billy, threatening to tell his mother about the incident. Billy’s frightened, and commits suicide. During this time, McMurphy contemplates on his last second escape, but chooses to stay after seeing Billy die. Enraged over what happened he strangles Nurse Ratched nearly to death, and then was put through leucotomy,…

    Money Can Buy Happiness

    Those words were familiar to Victor, they lurked somewhere deep in the back of his mind. He couldn’t quite remember where those words were from, but he knew they meant something bad; he just couldn’t quite figure out why this man seemed so damn familiar. It was two months ago when Victor took this job as a MargsonMart greeter. One month ago this man showed up for the first time and immediately started giving Victor the dead eye. Everyday this man would show up to glare angrily at Victor and stare at his left arm. Victor had broken his arm four months earlier and had a cast covering his tattoo. It wasn’t until last night that he had the cast removed. This was the first time the man had seen his tattoo. And now he looked angrier than ever.…
