Prompt C

Preferred Rules of English

Write not of frivolous things or things which cannot be interpreted. Use not the language of poets in thy expression of thy inner emotions. Write simply the message you wish to convey and nothing more. For tis wasteful of time to read and interpret the ideas of ideas that are not of thy own making.

Further more, do not interpret past the meaning of your understanding of the author. For tis bad form to delve too deep into the meaning of the piece without the consent of said author. For who are we to inject meaning that was never meant?

Do not ask of others to interpret to deeply the thoughts and feelings of others. For everyone has different thoughts and opinions on the works of others and it be the sole opinion of said persons, and if they wish not to express those opinions it shall be their place to hold them. Also, the persons asked to express those opinions may feel foolish when forced to interpret too deeply, and thats no good to anyone.


Preferred Rules of the Roommate

Leave not thy shoes upon the middle of the floor. For tis bad in the favor of thy roommates. Leave them there not upon Monday, nor Tuesday, nor Wednesday, nor Thursday, nor Friday, nor Saturday, nor Sunday, nor any day.

Be generous with thy food stuffs at all times. For under this roof shall the golden rule be applied. For I, as others, will also be generous with our foodstuffs as well, for the benefit of all.

Be not annoying unto those around you. How will one know, you ask? If one these phrases is uttered unto you then shall ye know if thy actions hath offended another. "Get thee out of here", "What is thy problem, pray tell?", "What the junk was that about?", or "Just who do thee thinkest thou art?"

For these things shalt thou follow even unto the end of thy freshman year. Even can one continue to use these rules past that time, even unto the end of time. Or until thou commence thy sophomore year. For tis for the benefit of all that the fulfillment of these things be carried though. For when these lamentations be carried though then shall we see happiness and prosperity flow throughout the land of Shane.
