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

Love and Passion

Flash Fiction And Artist Statement               Why? Why did you hit the ball so hard? What would you expect to happen? Why didn’t you listen? If you would have listened you would’ve probably not regret it. You hit that ball so hard over the net that day you couldn’t believe it. You were doing so well, you scored your team a goal, it made you feel loved hearing your teammates cheer and your family cheer. But when you walked to that penalty spot and hit that ball over the net you didn’t feel love anymore. You blamed yourself. When your captain told you if you wanted to take the penalty you could have said no. You wanted to prove yourself because people look down on you but you just proved that your just a mess up. You thought everyone was disappointed in you. You cried after the game because this is the sport you love and have a passion for. You felt empty. You lost your confidence. Professional players miss penalties. Don’t worr...

Self Conscience

Kaleb Wiebel You know, you should really stop arguing with yourself all the time. You must realize at some point that you’re probably the only person who thinks like this. At least it’s how you think in those rare instances when you decide to put any amount thought into something. Even then, you might not even decide to have a filter between your mouth and your brain. You do understand how stupid that makes you look right? Hey. Hey! You’re not even listening, are you? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                 My piece depicts two faces in, what I intended to be, a one-sided argument. The face on the right is quite clearly the one doing the arguing, as he yells, mouth agape, eyes shut with frustration, at the face on the left, who appears calm, yet uncaring, disinterested even, in what the other has to say. The...
