<p>so, our annual topic of the year: “find x”.</p>
<p>i would like to write like a conversation between two people. sorta like to show existentialism, and to show the utter meaninglessness of finding x when x is nothing and everything.</p>
<p>any insights on what i should do?</p>
<p>w8…maybe i can write a soliloque on this!! using hamlet’s soliloque!!</p>
<p>Or (re?)read Waiting for Godot? Have fun.</p>
<p>I wrote a western cowboy story where X was the convict and I was the cop. And I attached a cartoony wanted poster for X. All that existentialism stuff makes my essay look elementary. O_O</p>
<p>Still, it has to be refreshing to read an essay as frank and gutsy as yours dontfeedsparky amidst a sea of essays that may try to be clever within varying degrees of success.</p>
<p>“i would like to write like a conversation between two people. sorta like to show existentialism, and to show the utter meaninglessness of finding x when x is nothing and everything.”</p>
<p>that sounds like “Sunset Limited” by Cormac McCarthy</p>
<p>I wrote about a similar idea, but I had no idea it was existentialist or anything. I was simply relating it to a song</p>
<p>Im writing a conversation with God well more like God is ‘x’ and Im trying to find him (if he is even there and listening)and my thought process in doing so</p>
<p>THOUGHTS!!!???</p>
<p>ya just to tell u guys that my final idea was to find myself…pretty unique huh?</p>
<p>EXTREMELY unique.</p>
<p>I wrote about how “finding x” was the goal of all the math I’ve been learning since starting algebra in 2nd grade. I compared it to hide-and-go-seek.</p>
<p>Then I talked about how I started sucking at Calculus because the goal was no longer to find x, but to find the derivative/ integral of x.</p>
<p>Kind of a childish essay, but I thought it was a pretty good conceit.</p>
<p>If you want to expand on Hamlet’s soliloquy or existentialism read Rosencrantz and /guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard, it’s great and not very long.</p>
<p>^
i read it, its very insighting. but im done my essay, thx for the help though :D</p>
<p>I believe the correct word is ‘insightful’ and not insighting.</p>
<p>to find, or not to find x; that is the question.</p>
