Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, PETA

My favorite part about this one is the comment in the margin. And the only English words.



My friend was kind enough to offer a translation from Korean. It goes something like this (I took notes while he dictated):

"At one private detective office, there was this detective named Hoon. He is a cool person and always wore khaki pants and a white overcoat. Usually he wore a cowboy hat. He smoked 2 cigarettes at a time. He was very smart. Once he arranged for the popular Bugs Bunny to be hidden. Bugs Bunny was always being pursued by Elmer Fudd. Elmer Fudd is escaped from jail. PETA worries for Bugs Bunny. This morning, Elmer Fudd was captured by Hoon. Bugs Bunny and his cousin are safe in an undisclosed location.

Suddenly, Hoon's sexy secretary came into the office. She came in with an anonymous gift which was a cut tree (boom! Hoon hits his desk)."

Yet another short story with a horrible plot.

Re: Creative Writing Courses

Dana's comment on "Living under the Open Sky" about how Author didn't know anything about the drugs he/she was writing about reminded me of this.

Here at Michigan, there are three creative writing classes that contain fiction writing: 223 (intro, also has poetry), 323, and 423. It's probably worth noting that both 323 and 423 require portfolio submissions, and usually around 25 people apply for 15 spots. English 325 (essay writing) is a class that requires students to write nonfiction essays, often about themselves. What I'm about to say applies to all of these courses.

It's been my experience that the bulk of works that come out of creative writing courses fall into these categories:

1) Stories about sex (it's EDGY!!!)
2) Stories about drugs or other dark things (EDGY!!!)
3) Stories that are just retellings of events that happened to the author in real life. Common subject: unrequited love.
4) A story about something that happened to the student while studying abroad. Often combines some or all of 1-3 above.
