July 13, 200718 yr Written for a creative writing task set by my teacher for English. It's a short story, to do with Revenge of some sort. --- Reflections It was a hobby for him. Painting that is. He had no grand illusions about his skill; he was no Salvador Dali, no John Waterhouse. He wasnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t great, but he wasnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t bad either. It was an outlet for his emotions ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ his getaway from life. When most people sat down, writing in their journals, he painted his stories, and his feelings. There was something so much more personal about it to him. Something distinctly attractive about being different from others, however slight that shade of difference was. The paintings held chapters of his life, snippets of how he felt, and why. And it was so much better than a journal ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ he thought. Short of reading his mind, no one would be able to discern his past ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâentriesÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢. Only he understood them. Or, as Julian Bell wrote in his astute book, ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâWhat is Painting?ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢: ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅYour painting expresses ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ for you; but it does not communicate to me. You had something in mind, something you wanted to ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâbring outÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ I have no certainty that I know what it wasÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâæÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà .
July 13, 200718 yr I would reconmmend that you write it in a different format, with longer lines and less space in between. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
