Undesired or Boring Writing


Undesired writing or writing that is boring is everywhere. Everyone wants to create the next big story. However, what about having it be interesting and show the writers style? This approach has been used to create famous books that over time have turned into movies such as: Chronicles of Narnia series, 20,000 leagues under the sea, The lord of the rings series, and hunger games. This undesired writing in most cases involves mindless writing or choppy writing or both. But interesting writing is not boring in subject.

            Writing that is not boring entices the reader to continue reading not push them away. Not writing mindlessly entices the reader to continue reading. Instead of thinking, the content is dull or boring the writer wants to continue their read. Mindless writing puts emphasis on older subjects like poetry and older ways of life that are long gone. It writes about the 18th and19th century, but does not think ahead to the future and is stuck in its ways. Updated literature assignments with more creativity will allow students to experience rich literature without bringing up every classic work from the past. Movies reviews allow the writer to write about something that interests them without the dullness of reading hamlet or Romeo and Juliet such as the new Romeo and Juliet movie updated to gangs instead of competing families with Jet Li in it and the style students prefer now over the old style reading and movie. Another non-boring writing would be a mini 5-minute movie script for an assignment that gets the student thinking creatively about what went into a creative play or movie that we watch now and how it differed form plays in years long past (movies are in a general sense are very extensive plays with specific scenes and special effects).
 
Note: I have no doubts as to my teachers skills as a writer. This was more or less a way to show how literature classes could be improved. I strongly recommend the mini movie script writing though, because under the disguise of MOVIE script the student will not think twice about writing their own movie script instead of a play script which are similar.
