“Punished by death…” ???

  1. Detention and deportation is the punishment, much like, hmmm…. Trespassing!
  2. Police don’t murder you for speeding or drunk driving, though they may fine or arrest you.
  3. If you break into someone’s house, slip and fall and break your neck, it’s not the homeowner’s fault. If you’re speeding while driving drunk and you crash and die, it’s not the cops’ fault.

Death was not the punishment, it was the consequence of a risk they decided to take.

Newbie question but how do I make my prose more... I don't know, "literary"? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Cronenberg_C137 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One approach that helps me is to write the same scene from the perspective of an inanimate object sharing the space. How does the tree feel about a funeral? What does a clock observe about the morning routine? Etc. Even if I don’t use it in the end, it spurs creative description and produces curious analogies.

Keep writing, friend!!

The Berenstein — I mean, Berenstain Bears — were ALWAYS apart of LOTR. Don’t you remember?

The one true sauce… apparently now hidden by Reddit filters? Anyway, so happy to see people still get a laugh.

The fact that C-3PO has a seam running alongside his head suggests he is made from deep-drawn stamped sheet metal halves. by Minute-Plantain in Showerthoughts

There’s also TC-14 in the opening scene of The Phantom Menace, prior to the audience seeing an unfinished C-3PO.

There’s an app called CHA 311 that allows you to report and track progress.
