Seminar - Creative Ideas

Today was related to the essay coming up. We were practicing how to keep our sentences concise and straight to the point to avoid taking up word count for the real essay. I enjoyed this excercise but struggled in some areas...

  1. A bear. A char.
  2. A fluffy bear, a chair.
  3. A fluffy bear, a dirty chair.
  4. A fluffy bored bear, a dirty chair.
  5. A fluffly bored bear walks into the house after smashing up the dirty chair.
  6. A fluffy bored bear walks into the house after seeing his ex with a bigger bear. He smashed the chair up in anger.
I found this exercise helpful as I sometimes struggle to get straight to the point when essay writing, with more practice I think my essay's will become much more concise. 

I researched a book : Goths, Gamers and Grrrls : Deviance and Youth Subcultures. I am going to use this to help explore question one from the brief given. I am planning on focussing on Gaming and how women are not considered to 'play games' or 'game' at all. Looking at how this has changed over a period of time, up until today.

  1. A bowl of cherries and cream.
  2. A bowl of luscious cherries and cream.
  3. A bowl of luscious cherries and whipped cream.
  4. A bowl of luscious glossy cherries and fluffy whipped cream.
  5. A bowl of luscious glossy cherries sit in the warm sun and soft melted whipped cream.
  6. A bowl of luscious glossy cherries cover the ground beneath them, the melted whipped cream coats the dog's fur.
This is another example (made up) just as practice.
