"For sale: baby shoes, never worn." - Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway's famous six word story has inspired film and english students alike to push their boundaries and limit their word choice to only six word. this enables students to learn of the importance of deliberate word choice to convey a whole story. For our purposes here in Bteah, we will be doing a video from 18-30 seconds, with the focus on six diverse words and six diverse shots to tell a beginning, middle, and end. Inspiration for these stories can be found anywhere. Hemingway cultivated his idea from a new paper article he read as a child, titled "Tragedy of Baby's Death is Revealed in Sale of Clothes." His motivation for writing a story of six words was a bet among his author friends. Hemingway bets $10 he can write a story using only six words. After the collections were made he is said to have written down, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." He than collected his winnings.
Despite not having the motivation of earning money on my side, I am interested to create a strong and precise statement. After careful consideration of what is relevant to my life, I have sketched in simple six words about the pressures of High School. More specifically, Junior Year. For many 16-17 year olds, this is the first year where, in order to prevail and come out successful, they must work for it compares to coasting by in previous years. I plan to dig deeper, for this is my first idea. My idea is one of the continuos pressure to learn and complete homework, and do well in classes, That if given the chance can depress a student, unless it is matched with determination, hard work , and perseverance. "Pressure drowns you, until you rise."
