so few words!

For my article group I read the twitter essay and I was really surprised to just how much I related to what they were trying to do. It really is amazing how profound of a thought you can stick in just 140 characters (look at any famous quote ever) and the fact that you can say so much in so little words is astounding to me. One of my most influential teachers in high school made a point of the one page essay where we had one page to get all of our thoughts down. It turned out to be extremely difficult and more thought provoking then anything I have ever done before. The concept that every little part of the sentence becomes important is mind blowing to me, I really liked that about the articles we read. I still struggle with that and being about o have a concise and clear thought in so little amount is mind boggling to anyone. I definitely want to try this technique out on myself. Plus imagine a 4 page paper of nothing but these little twitter essays after each other. Crazy!
