project 4

the vimeo was taken down. so i will be dropping off the other forms to watch the video

Language has always been one of the hardest aspects for me to learn. I have failed at creating an interesting work due to my lack of confidence in the language or I have been unable to understand a class. As one gets to know me they understand that a very interesting characteristic of mine is my use of any language. By text or spoken, I have always make languages mistakes. Every since a young age I have always had to repeat myself, since I tend to have messy thoughts and messy speaking.

For this project I wanted to create the confusion I tend to have when speaking.  I choose a Dr. Seuss story, which contains a great amount of play on wording and repetition.  With this story, which is already a poem and therefore, with a lot of word play, I created a project in which I used my normal and confusing play on word to create a confusion with the audience. I seat in front of the class and create this feeling of a book reading. However, as I read they will hear I am using a confusing grammar.  This is much like when I was a child and I was not able to use the right words or turn the right words in a sentence.  In almost every sentence I created confusion by mixing normal language with my new grammar. I turned worlds around as well as sentences around.  In addition,  I introduced the actual scanned pages of the book. The viewer is then able to compare what I am saying to what the book is intended too say. Therefore, there will be confusion, but there will be an understanding of what is happening.
