The Drawing Game

Hey, people!

It's been awhile.

I'm in Speech class this semester because, sadly, Short Stories was only for one semester. But, Speech isn't all bad. For the first solid half of the period we play games designed to better our communication skills. 

This game is simple. The seven of us sat in a circle with our own piece of paper. We wrote one sentence and then passed it to our left. That person read the sentence and they drew a picture of that sentence. They folded up the first sentence so the next person could only see the picture they drew. The paper travels all the way around the circle. I think you'll be able to understand from my pictures. 

Be warned - some of these are hilarious. 

Game #1

 That person did a good job.

 See, we're on track here.

Okay, nice creativity.

 But then it came to me - and the only thing I could think of was why in that picture the girl took off her skirt. So I wrote:

 I feel bad for Alli. She was the person after me. She read my sentence and just sighed.

 And then it go to my teacher.
Sorry, Mr. Fuggit.

 It went from 'read a book' to 'a woman read a steamy love card and proceeded to take off her clothes. Seriously?'  It was mostly my fault, though. I'll take the blame for this one.


I think this next one is funny.

Game #2

 Paige penned a perfect sentence. (Notice the awesome alliteration, pretty please.)

 Well, that is definitely creepy. Props to the drawer - Jordan.

Sadly, next it was my turn. I think I take the pictures a little too literal.

Alli's a good artist - great, in fact. The rest of in class use stick figures. Sadly, her drawing skills led to this game's downfall. Her monster's bloog/fang thing was interpreted as a beard.

 This is probably the best drawing I've ever seen.

 This is a great sentence.

And finally, game #3.

 This is an ongoing debate at our school. We have salad bar every other day (which, admittedly, isn't great) and Paige, a girl in my class, is devastated every day they do not put turkey in the salad bar. The students make it and Scott, another boy in our Speech class, is in the Foods class.
She's been trying to coerce him into putting turkey into salad bar for about five months now.

 I saw this picture and I knew - I knew - it was a turkey ordering an espresso.
Which I called it an 'expresso'. I can't spell, okay?

 Okay, Mr. F added a little blurp about Thanksgiving. That's okay. No big deal.

  . . .  Thanksgiving.

And we get here.
Pretty close to the original. A central idea of turkey is still present.

That's all I've got for now, folks. I've been sickly lately - all from a tiny scratch on my ear that turned into a pretty bad infection. But, I'm almost off my medicine, though. Plus, I took the ACT again. There's much college talk at my house. My writing contest results are in a few days. I'm looking for a job.

I think I'm going to take a nap.
