Dull to Life (In Class)
Eight to three on
week days. Two to six on week
nights. Weekends are unpredictable. Master is often inconsiderate when it comes to following
schedule on any given night of the week.
Being of an inanimate nature, all I can do is
strain to hear words coming from the illuminated screen. I’m not hard of hearing;
my difficulty resides in the sound that appears to come from the depths of his
stomach, but in reality escapes through his mouth. It’s as if he is in constant competition with
the television’s volume. Who can emit
the loudest, most obnoxious noise?

I'm not sure if this is long enough for a Theme... I can fix it if not.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I switched this as an in class prompt instead of the theme. The one above it is going to be the theme. I think it's a better fit, if it works for the actual theme..
ReplyDeleteThis is what's known in the trade as a 'conceit' piece--conceit here has nothing to do with arrogance or snootiness. It means taking a notion, an idea (in this case, an inanimate object with consciousness)--and that notion is called a 'conceit'-- and riding it for all it's worth.
