Writing Mimesis:
The little prince
Once, when I was six years old, I saw a marvelous picture in a book on rainforests called real life stories. It depicted a boa constrictor swallowing a wild animal. Here is a replica of the picture.
In the book it said: Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing. Afterwards they cannot move, and sleep for six months digesting. I thought a great deal about goings-on in the jungle and, in turn. With a crayon, managed to produce my first drawing. My drawing number I. It was like this:
I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups and asked them if my drawing frightened the. They answered: What’s frightening about a hat? My drawing was not of a hat. It showed a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. I then drew the insides of the boa constrictor
Reflection:
After the exercise and continued back to my prompt my writing got slower. I was thinking about the passage that I copied while I was writing my prompt. The passage that I copied and my prompt were also about two very different things so there were many pauses while I was writing. I didn’t know what I should write for my prompt.
Writing following Hormesis/stress:
Taking a shower
Reflection:
After the second exercise I was able to write more since I was thinking about what I should write during the shower. I was able to focus better compared to the last exercise.
