Some random thing

[Noven]

Something I made in my study hall, Finlandia just had to see it (XD) so here it is (And beforehand, I couldn't be bothered with names ):


"But Mr.Man! Rhetoric is the most useless thing I've ever seen! That alliteration thing is stuipd, not slightly so but very much, it makes words slither like a slippery snake! No good in that. Oh, and I'm not even started yet... Allusion, no more helpful to a speech than the plague! Amplification? This has no meaning, oh such little meaning, to anything! Oh ho ho, here comes analogy, pampered and pretty, ready for the prom. I will not fall for this scam, submit to this sham, or believe this hoax which is parallelism! This ever-flowing stream unyielding you call a metaphor, flooding a text with its uselessness! Now, how much effect could you possibly get out of a rhetorical question?"

Mr.Man moved to speak, cut off by the resolute student. "None!" he bellowed, the shout permeating throughout the air, shattering the calm it had maintained before. The room's atmosphere began to reform, more still than before. The student continued, a passionate fire to his eyes "Useless, unfeasibly useless! All of it! Loaded words, heh, let it fester and rot away! Oh... look at me, Mr. Man, English teacher of (Ryga) [ ] Muffinberg high school, this fancy title means I can teach all of this hopelessly un-useable rhetoric stuff, like appoitives, into children's minds, even though it's of no aid to them! Oxymorons too, so very usefully useless. None of these, not forgetting hyperbole of course, has not once at any time ever helped a single person make his point! Never! The student panted slightly, chest rising and falling ever so subtly as he did so.

Mr.Man replied weakly "Yes... I-I see your point, you have no need to write the paper on rhetoric, just please don't spread the words around, lest there be trouble for me and pandemonium in my class..." Mr.Man was trembling ever so slightly from the shock of his student's speech.

"Alright, fine by me." The student replied, in an ever-so-calm manner. He began his cocky stride, which carried him away with only his thoughts, those being the following: Heh, quick speech is way better than some dull three page report, he smirked,pulled the wool right over his eyes too! He resumed his stride into the sunset, which is by no means a cliche ending to some cliche storytelling...

-------------------------------------------

Meh, I made it in half an hour in the first place, with most of the time making sure my uses of rhetoric was correct, so please don't hate it too much. Or just insult me so I can get back in my emo corner, that's cool too

Ahh, the English language. In no other tongue is the speech so beautiful, so multi purpose, so hardy and evolving! That mere sound pattern could do so much in the world! Declarations of war, love, peace, independence! The world spins on the English word!

That was a really good bit of text, Noven! I really liked the concept when you told me about it, and you pulled it off really well. I will say it needs separating into paragraphs, though.

And yes, I had to see it. And you will obey me.

Good Story *The critic gets up and leaves*

[Noven]

Lol, I threw this together in half an hour. Couldn't be bothered with paragraphs when I just wanted to throw it up in a short instant. (I'll probably fix it later though lol... or not, I'm kind of lazy XP)

That was a pretty awesome thing to read Novs. I remember a very wise man once told me the same thing I'm about to tell you....He was a kind man. A gentle, loving, nurturing man. He always lived to help others never asking for anything in return. Some would say that he could perform miracles, others say that he was just a fraud calling himself something that he was clearly not. And so without further ado, I shall give you the same advice he gave me so long ago...

For a second I thought Fallout had edited my post. Fine, I'm on the job sir... ma'am... thing... Hope I did it correctly, not sure where to cut it when over half the story is in dialogue XD Also, you guys really like it? I didn't think it was really anything special myself, but whatever lol.

hm... I like it, clever use of what many of us think of a subjects work into an actual speech against a teacher of said subject though... heh I have never known an English teacher back down like that, but perhaps that is just my experience... your writing style isn't back however, like I said, I liked it
