Classmate Response: Week of 1/17/11 (late!)



Lucas Chance: Random Writing Week 1

when the hunter came back from hunting
without a drop to eat
the starvers went to starving
and took to chewing wheat

I adored the whimsy of this piece. The brevity was the perfect match for the snappy nature of its humor. I half-expected it to be a playful ode to cannibalism, with the final word being "meat," so enjoyably nonchalant was the attitude. I have no criticism, really, other than to say that you show a terrific potential for black humor, and I'd love to see where you could go with this if you gave your imagination free reign.
