2. write a story using a twister. what is a twister?
a twister is a short story that is like a tweet because it tells a story in exactly 140 characters. developing poetry through twitter has started to become a very popular creative outlet. the 140 character limit - like twitter - includes spaces and punctuation. twisters have a beginning, middle and an end. montreal writer arjun basu says that “each of his 140-characters stories fall into different categories; romantic relationships, family, work and mundane experiences. the character limit poses a challenge each time. occasionally he engages in “one bit of cheating,” leaving the final period off to prevent them from exceeding the character limit.”
here are some examples of twisters written by arjun basu:
as a child he delivered newspapers. as an adult he delivered bad news daily. because he was a negative person. and the world’s worst surgeon 5: 34 am apr 29th
they lived happily. at least that’s what they told their friends. it wasn’t true. the dog whined incessantly. and neither of them could cook 5: 34 pm jun 15th
the marriage didn’t survive the honeymoon. they acknowledged the majesty of their mistake. but they remained together. because of the gifts. 7: 52 am jun 15th
all the soccer moms wear their yoga gear while sipping lattes. jones wonders which one to flirt with. he brought along his dog for a reason. 7: 11 am jun 13th
the air is fresh, the promise of something lovely in it, of magic. and then the wind shifts. and he is reminded he lives next to a pig farm. 7: 51 am jun 9th
the hours turn to days. and then finally the curtains are drawn and the sun streaks in. you look pasty, she says. you look in love, he says
when he stroked her shoulder softly she felt it all the way in her toes. and she knew she would end up marrying him. because she had no legs.

sensory details?

so i`m assuming you are writing something from a bats (the animal) point of view. if this is the case, you can use sights, sounds, feelings, and tastes.

and idk what you mean by domain, but all of the sensory details will depend on where the bat is.

a bat doesn't see color very well, so its surroundings will be dulled.

it can hear super well. so maybe it can hear the insects on the ground

feelings. you can imagine how a bat would feel from its perspective. it all depends on where it lives.

maybe it can taste the salt in the air, or smell water, or something. all of these details are completely dependent on where it is located.

hope this .

answer:   a good wench, give it me.

iago

good girl, give it to me.

emilia

what will you do with ’t, that you have been so earnest

325to have me filch it?

emilia

and what are you going to do with it? why did you want it so much that you begged me to steal it?

iago

  why, what is that to you?

iago

what’s it to you?

emilia

if it be not for some purpose of import,

give ’t me again. poor lady, she’ll run mad

when she shall lack it.

emilia

if you don’t need it for some important reason, then give it back to me. poor lady, she’ll go crazy when she sees it’s missing.

iago

be not acknown on ’t,

330i have use for it. go, leave me.

iago

don’t admit to knowing anything about it. i need it. now go, leave me.

exit emilia

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

enter othello

othello enters.

    i did say so.

340look, where he comes. not poppy nor mandragora

nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,

shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

which thou owedst yesterday.

here he comes. no drugs or sleeping pills will ever give you the restful sleep that you had last night.

othello

    ha! ha! false to me?

othello

argh! she’s cheating on me?

iago

why, how now, general? no more of that.

iago

oh, general, , no more of that!
