What is a six word essay?
Apparently it is a real thing.
I have actual written proof.
Some book I bought on Amazon.
It’s loaded with six word essays.
It makes me ask the question, Can six words be an essay?
High school English teacher would disagree.
According to Ms Wattel, five paragraphs. That’s the minimum for expository essays.
Another example of ADD going mainstream.
Sounds like a verbal machine gun, or talking to an 8 year old. Which in hindsight, wasn’t all that fun. Unless of course you like arguing about why brushing teeth is not optional.
Apparently when I was sleeping the millennial hordes found a way to bring their ADD inflected thinking to the rest of us. Say it in six words.
Interesting observation, the older I get the less concise I tend to be. Seems to be a pattern in the newly aged community. Those of us with the least amount of time left on earth, tend take the longest amount of time to say anything.
Or in six words:
Old people talk way too much.
NO ONE has ever accused me of being concise. To the contrary. The only time I’m ever concise in my writing is when I forget words. Mrs S thinks I don’t like adjectives. She also thinks I don’t pay attention. It’s a fair point.
Censoring sentences gets to the point. Also drives people stark raving mad.
My first six word essay was:
Deal with reality, on realities terms.
Word.
My sons do not like writing.
They really do not like reading.
They do not like long sentences.
They don’t really like any sentences.
They certainly do not like essays.
Even short six word expository essays.
