A Snake That Ate an Elephant or A Hat?
I believe that the images could be either a snake that ate an elephant or a hat, depending on how you look at it. It reminds me of the type of optical illusion art that depending on if you see the black space as positive you would see one thing and if you see the white space as positive, you see another. I think that the first picture would definitely be the better story because it's more interesting. I mean, a snake ate an elephant? That's pretty interesting in this generation's mind. More interesting than a hat. The question most people would ask is, 'What did the hat do? Did the hat do something cool?' The answer to that question would be no. Meanwhile, a snake ate an elephant. Elephants are pretty big compared to snakes. People want to be entertained. A lot of people would find something being eaten by a snake than an old hat.

I like how you didn't choose one particular picture over the other, saying that it depends on the viewer because it truly does depend on the person and how the see two pictures. The second sentence was quite wordy and slightly confusing at first, making me re-read it a few times before I could understand what was being said. Nevertheless, it was a well written passage that made sense.
ReplyDeleteOn a side not, you forgot to include which picture was a, "lifeless factuality." You may want to include that. :)
I have to disagree with your comment about the hat. You can't just focus on the hat. You have to be aware of the possibilities behind it. Or in this case beneath it. Like I mentioned in my post, there could be many many things underneath the hat. Something that could be used to create a much better story than a snake eating an elephant.
