Black and White


Dishaun W


Flash Fiction-
Positive and negative, a very common thought process with people in America.

Artist Statement-
I chose black and white thinking as my topic because when I was younger my thought process was very negative. Each day that went by my thoughts had gotten worse, I never really had a sole purpose because I knew my situation wasn’t going to change. My situation at the time was being adopted by my aunt, it was very hard to get used to not seeing my mom every day when I came home from school.

    I agree some people have very negative thoughts or very happy thoughts. sometimes you just need to think there is a grey area and more positive.

    i can relate to the concept of black and white thinking, in my flash fiction i also went into the way that my thought process was before this class. Thinking in extremes really can dominate someones personality and i think that was very evident in the way that you described your own thought process of being very negative

    I think a lot of people in our country see things in black and white, especially people with power. I think this is harmful because the world is not just white and black, or, right or wrong. We need to see beyond this

You feel at the time that the extra sleep is so needed until you realize everything your missing at school will need to be made up. you know you’ll get that extra hour of sleep thinking its going to make you feel better the rest of the day but really when you get out of bed you’ll be bored and wished you would’ve gone.

No Backbone

Self-Portrait Project Flash Fiction: Some people say that you’re kind, you just see it as looking outside your own perspective. You know that not all of your friends have been loyal and have talked behind your back, yet you defend them and you always make amends. You want to yell and scream because despite all of them being older than you, they’re the ones acting childish. You’re tired of the games and apologizing first when you know that deep down - you have nothing to be sorry for. He flakes, she blames you for her faults, and he chose his relationship over friendship - in the end they’re all the same.  They say that you’re their best friend and then as soon as something doesn’t go their way - well, you know what happens. But, you’re tired of being told you have no backbone because you’re “too nice”. Once upon a time, you being so nice was their favorite quality because they took advantage of your kindness. They took advantage of you. Artist Statement: I’m...

Ripples

Ripples Flash Fiction: no sudden movements.  take it slowly. pace yourself.  you try to listen, but you never follow through.  your reflection in the water will always be marred by the ripples you make.  Artist Statement I chose to edit the photo of myself to appear as if it was reflected in the surface of a body of water. This decision was made to reflect the nature of my piece of writing, which played upon the phrase “to make waves” in order to portray the nature of some of the struggles i’ve faced in my own life due to my inherent need to push forward and push myself beyond my own limits. i chose to add a wash of blue to the photo to express the melancholy nature and subdued frustration associated with goals unmet and expectations unfulfilled. I chose to refrain from touching up my blemishes and imperfections in order to make myself appear just as human and genuine as anyone else who might read what i had written, and could better r...
