Ok so for this blog my class is focusing on "6-word memoirs." 6-word memoirs are basically your life, or a situation in your life summed up in 6, yes 6, words. We were given a website that contained oodles of these memoirs, and our task is to pick our top 5 favorites and explain why we like them. Simple enough so here it goes.
1). "Future Emmy winner: Suck it Bullies"
This is by far my favorite memoir because it's just so awesome!! I applaud who ever this person is because not only did they effectively say "screw you bullies", but they did it in 6 words. This is a very powerful statement, nothing more needs to be said, the message is clear and I love it. I also love that this person dares to dream, they clearly know what they want out of life and are not afraid to go out and get it!
2). "Passed school, all thanks to Wikipedia"
Well ain't that the damn truth. Sorry to my teacher who is reading this (but I'm sure most teachers already know), it's sad but true. I'm pretty sure that 100% of students have used Wikipedia at one point, and probably 90% use it on a regular basis. I think this quote perfectly defines my generation. We enjoy the luxury of the internet, we can find any information in a matter of seconds. Some will say we are the "lazy generation" while others will say that we have adapted to our society. Whatever the case, hats off to Wikipedia, american high schoolers thank you.
3). "We are more than six words"
Yes, yes we are. This is a very simple sentence but it's totally accurate. While these 6-word memoirs give a little glimpse into our lives, they aren't the whole thing. It's like pepperoni pizza, the pizza is called "pepperoni" because that's the meat on it, but there's way more than just pepperoni going on. There's also cheese and sauce and bread! Basically what this person is saying is that humans are complicated beings, and cannot possibly be summed up in 6 words.
4). "There's a bitch-slap in your future"
Hahahaha, by god this is hilarious. Can you imagine how pissed off someone had to go online and write this? I feel sorry for who ever is unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of that slap. There's no deep meaning to his quote it's just funny and I like it :)
5). "If I play, I will win"
Now here is a cocky statement, but I must admit I kinda like it. As an athlete I can relate to this feeling. The competitive nature, the "always wanting to win", and feeling invincible enough to do so. Now I'm not sure what this person is referring to, it could be sports or it could be a game of Boggle. However, it's a competition nonetheless-so who ever you are, to you I say, rock on!
Well audience that's it for now! See you in Blog 4
