I would choose David Parker’s interpretation of the big bang. No-one quite knows how the big bang looked but I love how he thinks it looks. It’s full of color and energy of every kind. Kind of like how flash fiction can be used for any and all genres and topics. Also, like the universe,Continue reading “This is goodbye?”

BP7: Four Hard Facts About Dihydrogen-Monoxide
I want to start with the limitations or problems I ran into. I would like to note, I purposefully made everything close to blue to represent the recurring water theme. I hoped this would help draw some connections to the original story and its title, “Four Hard Facts About Water.” I wish I had foundContinue reading “BP7: Four Hard Facts About Dihydrogen-Monoxide”
BP6: Bird is the Word
“And ten thousand birds, they cannot be caged.” The quote, “And ten thousand birds, they cannot be caged,” is from Alex McElroy’s “A Man and A Man”. It is towards the end of the two men’s conversation about the sad man’s wife. It was the celebrity’s metaphor to explain how she is a woman whoContinue reading “BP6: Bird is the Word”
BP5: Why Do Men Aspire To Be Statues?
As Joe Erhmann said in his TEDTalk, “Be A Man,” the words , be a man, impacts a boy’s life more than we realize. I can think of at least one time when I was told to stop crying or to man up by a male role model in my life. Now I don’t believeContinue reading “BP5: Why Do Men Aspire To Be Statues?”
BP4: Life in High School Before The “After”
This post will focus on a specific portion of Bill Konigsberg’s “After”. As stated in the title, it will be mainly about the school and friend portion of this story. The best place to start is why “After” is told from a second-person point of view. The reason being, the author can put the readerContinue reading “BP4: Life in High School Before The “After””
BP3: A Deeper Look at “Karintha”
When I first read through the excerpt from Laura Doyle’s Bordering on the Body: The Racial Matrix of Modern Fiction and Culture, the line, “Karintha’s body absorbs light and value without, as it absorbs the gaze and intentions of the men who desire her,” from the first paragraph stood out to me. I had neverContinue reading “BP3: A Deeper Look at “Karintha””
BP2: Separate Spheres of an Hour
To start, I would like to define what the separate spheres ideology is. It is the belief that men and women operate in separate spheres, roles, or places during their lives. This can be illustrated by the common old conception that women were supposed to stay at home and be raising the children, doing housework,Continue reading “BP2: Separate Spheres of an Hour”
BP1: The Depth of Sweaters
Like most flash fiction, Nicholas DiChario’s “Sweaters” is short and deceivingly simple. There are multiple interpretations to be seen. But first, some background information. It takes place at a newstand where two main characters interact: the man whose point of view we are seeing and the girl who wore the sweaters. Their whole interaction lastedContinue reading “BP1: The Depth of Sweaters”
My Favorite Place
I’ve been to Oregon several times and it is one of my favorite places to go look at nature. The title picture and the following were taken at two different times and two different places. If you want to know about where these were taken you can go to https://www.thecrazytourist.com/15-amazing-waterfalls-in-oregon/ and see the different falls.
