What's the story with this owl?
I
collect animated gifs and include them whenever possible on my blogs. This one reminds
me of Creative Writing classes at school. My teacher would pin an image to the
wall. Sometimes it was a historical picture, photograph, painting, sketch, or
even just a particular color with no image – just the color. He would ask us to
focus on the image throughout the lesson, to memorize it, take notes as we thought
of them.
The homework assignment was to write a story, poem, or piece of prose
based on that image.
Look at this image.
Look at the owl …
the surroundings …
how the owl is perched.
What’s
the story with this owl?
The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri:
I read this when studying Literature.
It’s the classic poem of the ultimate journey, up through
Hell, Purgatory, eventually to Heaven …
I read that Warner Bros. has a script by Dwain Worrell.
If the movie is realized, I recommend all to read this
first.
