INK

This weeks read was interesting; I had heard that Hitler at one time was an aspiring artist and that he was homeless and a vagrant at one point in his life. I did not know that the turning point, or the reason that Hitler felt that he would be a great leader came from a five hour symphony that he and his friend attended as youths. It is hard to say weather the world would have been better off if Hitler would have been accepted into art school or if there would have been another leader who would have filled the shoes of Hitler in his absence. The answer to this question we will never know. I agree with Gotschell when he explains that ink is the master of mystery, tears, fear, and triumph! That is the great thing about fiction, we can make it as exciting as we want, the hero can always win, and villain we can understand and sometimes sympathize with them as well. It is no wonder that the human race not only loves fiction and story telling, but needs fiction and story telling. Story telling has become a part of humanity. It is the way we relax and release energy, it is the portrait of our dreams, it is an escape from our mundane lives. Ink to paper is as important to the body as oxygen to blood. Without story telling, without fiction, we as a human race would cease to exist. At least in the way we have become familiar with today! So I agree very strongly with Gotschell that story telling and fiction are not optional but necessary in the human experience. My research with GMO’s is an ongoing process. There are those on both side of this debate to whether GMO’s are good for the future of the human race, and then there are those that claim that GMO’s are the reason that America is the most over weight country in the world, that the morals of the American people are off center. Also thos that support the sciences and that GMO’s are a purer form of organisms and that they are being used in other ways to improve the quality of life not only for Americans but everyone around the world.
