The Hawkey piece I found particularly interesting. Even
though it was incredibly repetitive, I kept wanting to read because I was
wondering how he was going to use the same elements over and over again in
different ways to keep the reader interested and moving along. Ironically, he
repeated the like “repetition equals depersonalization” several times. If I had
the ambition and motivation to, I would like to go through and see how many
individual words he actually uses just to compare it to how long the whole
piece is, that was I could see how impressive it is how he can use the same
words again and again to create different meanings. I noticed that as the piece
progressed, he started introducing new ideas, but integrating them into already
developed and recognizable phrases and sentences.
A Little White Shadow is fun to look at because it shows
taking something and completely altering it. Honestly, when I got it in the
mail over break before this semester started and I was looking through it, I
was like “Wtf? Someone whited out half of the book, now I have to get a new
one.” Seriously, I didn’t get it. Now I feel like an idiot.
Both pieces are strange, but in different ways. They
interesting concepts to work with because they crop words and displace them,
changing meanings and I think that would be fun (but perhaps difficult) for me
to try to do.
