First Draft ( major project)

  It's day seven. She had her light on the whole night, in her pajamas she wandered across an empty room.

 Why you haven't slept I asked, she did not answer. 

Framed in white gold she stood still across the street, just a reach away. I swore to my self I could smell her hair-  coconut oil with a gentle hint of biscuit.  Knock on a door.

Two young men were in front of me, cheeks red as meatballs.

- We here to fix the boiler

I pointed at the bathroom and so they went.

She was gone. 

- So basically we have to order a new part - guy number one started, it will take three to four days to come - the second one finished, As his eyes passed through my kitchen a grim smile appeared on his face. -  I guess you will have to use a kettle for a little while he added. 

She was still gone 

- Okay, thank you.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

                                                                          (Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986 - opening scene) In today's class, we were introduced to one of the cult films " Ferris Bueller's Day Off " Written and directed by John Hughes who is also known for works such as "Planes, Trains & automobiles" ( 1987) and "The Breakfast Club" (1985). Movie was  produced by Paramount pictures.(IMDB)  "Paramount Pictures, In full Paramount Pictures Corporation, one of the first and most successful of the Hollywood film studios. It became a subsidiary of viacom in 1994"   (Britannica).   Ferris Bueller's day off in my opinion is ultimate lazy Sunday afternoon movie, sending nothing but good emotions. Matthew Broderick who was nominated for the Golden Globe award in 1987  for the best performance by any actor in motion picture ( Golden Globes) delivers fun, intreaging and all rounded character to life, making us feel like we

Development of my project

With the deadline just around the corner I finished drafting and ready to submit the project I was carrying out throughout the media 2 module. While redrafting for the last time, I aimed to get rid of unnecessary words and sentences in order to control the tone throughout my work. I also looked at minimalism as a literary device.  'Minimum is both an ending and a beginning, the terminus of patient processes of simplification reduction, exposition, intensification and clarification.' (Botha, 2017)   Will You Please Be Quiet,Please?

Reading these collections greatly informed me of Raymond Carver's work and gave me inspiration when editing my own work. I was interested by minimalism
