Death and Texas - A Review of Stranger Than Fiction (screenplay)
by Aditi Adve Harold Crick is about as boring a man as you can imagine. With the dream and ability to become a mathematical theorist, he instead works for the IRS. A man of habit, he counts everything - how many strokes he takes to brush his teeth, the number of steps from his apartment to the bus stop, the minutes he allows himself for a coffee break. For nine years, every weekday is the same for Harold, until one fateful Wednesday when he hears a voice while he's brushing his teeth. No matter how much Harold tries to ignore the voice, it continues to narrate everything he does. His coworkers grow concerned when Harold describes a voice none of them can hear and send him to audit Ana Pascal, an anarchist baker. He inexplicably develops a crush on her, while she hates him and everything he stands for. He puts her from his mind, though, because he keeps hearing the voice talk about him to some imaginary audience. Deciding the voice seems to be narrating his life, he convince...
Impressive job Zevo, trying to fool me on which poem you actually wrote but ALAS! My mind is too vast and unpredictable for you to predict. Right here, in this very comment, I will expertly prove which poem you have in fact wrote
ReplyDeleteA: This is pretty clearly not it, the word play and general tone are too complex for him. Specifically in the last paragraph if you were to read it out loud the amount of syllables and sound of it is very similar to modern children poetry ergo: too complex for Zev.
B: This one is a little tricky as I do believe it is simple enough for him to write. Specifically when the poem mentions the name Donald, that name is fairly uncommon enough for it to be a reference Zev makes to (Ambiguous political figure). But I think it really sets itself out of Zev's league on the last two lines. The deeper meaning and interesting lesson it provides would feel completely out of place coming from Zev Starfish Mendelowitz's mouth and I think it rules out B
C: He isn't smart enough to write this one
D By process of elimination this is the only one left and it makes sense. The rhyming is dumb, the poem is simple, and lets not forget Zev's strange obsession with elephants
All in all, I think that the answer here is clearly....
C!! you thought you could fool me you sneaky rascal. But i'm on to your cheap games. See you next time you villainous snake.
Mr Mitchell pls don't take points off this is a joke I mean no offense to Zev.
First of all, dang Eli. Second of all, good job with your blog post! Children's books, no matter how cheesy they are, will always have give you that nostalgic feeling. My guess is that you wrote poem A??? (hint hint I purposefully guessed the wrong one because you said to do that. My real guess is C). Anyway, good job!
ReplyDeleteEli dove deeper into this post than he does into the sagas of Chad. The last seems like the obvious choice, until you see that somebody used the word "assent" in a CHILDREN'S POEM. It's also about cats, which is a Zev thing to write about. Although the idea deserves a sizable bologna amount, the only reason this post is getting so many is because I want them to bury you alive. Many bolognas, rain from the skys!
