A Portrait by definition is a “pictorial representation of a person usually showing the face.” or “relating to, or being a document having the vertical dimension longer than the horizontal dimension.” (Merriam-Webster). To write a complete portrait I think we need to pick a specific object and just look beyond its surface and try to study it and just use your thoughts over and over again.
When I heard her read “If I told him: A complete portrait of Picasso” on youtube I couldn’t help it, but to be immature and laugh. Not at her, but at the fact that it reminded me of a Dr. Sues Book. If I am not mistaken is called “green eggs and ham” again If I am not mistaken he wrote that book using just 26 or 27 words. It is so repetitive, but it sends a message. I am guessing she is trying to teach us that we can express ourselves with just a few words just somehow putting them together differently.
