We're doing Response to Literature in Language Arts, and I happened to stumble across this a few days ago...
This pretty much summarizes my thoughts on analyzing stories/novels. Look, when I write a story, and I say, Marissa's bathing suit was green, it means that her bathing suit was green. It DOES NOT mean that Marissa loves plants, or is envious of Sammy or any of that shit.
I mean, once in a while, there might be slight symbolism, but nothing that deep. I don't see why it can't be the same with other authors. Why am I being forced to analyze every little freaking detail of that story and trying to find a meaning behind it.
It makes me sick.
Anyways, so I'm almost done with a Sammy Keyes fanfiction that may or may not be my Valentine's Day story. I was in a writing slump, but I got this idea that temporarily pulled me put of it.
I actually have a lot of ideas, especially for songfics, that I'll go into later. So anyways, the story I'm writing is called Zap, inspired by NYD who was playing Truth or Dare with eight year olds.
Characters: Sammy, Billy, Holly, Marissa, Casey, and Dot
That was going to be my Valentine's Day story, but then I got this idea for a story that centered more around Lana, and I'm thinking I want to post that as my Official Valentine's Day Story.
So, what do you think? Zap, or the other one?
Love you,
