Leo Leventhal: the blog

Wow, lemme tell you, I've been in college going on four years now, but after reading the assignment for this presentation, I could've sworn  I was in high school! How exciting! It felt exactly as hand-holdy and busy-worky as a high school project! Throwback thursday! LOL am I right?  Expectations that hamstring you with their stringency? An outline whose sole purpose is to be graded? And  a redundant blog post to compliment the outline and the presentation?? I'm getting all nostalgic for the burnt out older teachers from my high school that would assign the exact same sorts of things! Top it all off with the fact that this has seemingly zero bearing on, and in fact takes time away from, the project that's supposed to be the focus of this course, and it really seems like it's only  perfunctory busy work! Boy, I feel like a teenager again, with the teachers in my life having zero trust in the competency and ability of me and my peers to learn, so they just set up hoop

Well I guess my blogpost STYLE has been called in to question. More "like prose" is what I've been told I need to make these. I knew writing limericks was the wrong way to go. Look where it got me. So here it goes. or, should I say, here it prose. We're on the path. We've got some scenes in the works and we have a shape and a direction. Things are looking good. We have one basically complete scene. What more do you want, Martyn? Johnny? Prose enough for you? No? Well, here's the full text of one of my favorite short stories, A Serious Talk by Raymond Carver. How's that for prose? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VERA'S CAR WAS there, no others, and Burt gave thanks for that. He pulled into the drive and stopped beside the pie he'd dropped last night. It was still there, the aluminum pan upside down, a halo of pumpkin filling on the pavement. It was Friday, almost noon, the day after
