So I ran some of my blog topic ideas across my mom, and she was appalled at how risky and inappropriate they were. Now, when we are talking inappropriate, she means talking about farting and pinewood derby dads. She says that if I write about these topics that it will bite me in the butt later (excuse my inappropriate term) because employers and college board people will find my blog and be appalled at what I write, and then I won't get the offer. I'm not going to swear and rip on people, but without a little bit of risk, the writing isn't very interesting.
So how far is too far?
What are the paramaters that I have to stay between (I know we are supposed to be thinking out of the box), and at what point will colleges and jobs start to become skeptical of your values. Would they be horrified if I wrote about farting, or would they comend me for my boldness and creativity?
Your poem reminds me of Orwell's Animal Farm! Read it! It's a really short novel about animals who take control of a farm, and the rules start out: All Animals are Created Equal...but then it changes to: All Animals are Created Equal, but Some are More Equal Than Others.
ReplyDeleteIf you keep Orwell on your phone, you can spread his literary word! Since you're in spanish now, he's simply "Senor Orwell." Jorge Orwell.
