The Sides To Balance

BLACK
Oh please, make up your mind. Are clichés in fact clichés? As I see it, clichés are clichés for a reason. (Ironic, isn’t it?) When people do something non-stop, it becomes a cliché. Now, why would we want to repeat something over and over again having heard it so many times before? Because it’s good material, good stuff. So we now know what clichés are and how they are created. But when they become clichés, most people try not to use them because they want to claim that they have originality. That they have some new perspective that no one has ever seen before when as a matter of fact they don’t. They just say the same thing but put it in different (everyday) words that don’t sound as cool. They basically go straight to the point.

DCBLOG is a perfect example of what I define as someone trying hard to avoid clichés. Yes, I understand that he is an English professor therefore hates clichés because they make literature almost tacky. But without using ANY and having such a serious tone, it becomes tedious and boring. I mean dude, make it colorful!

DCBLOG is almost like the movie The Warrior. By focusing on the little details of life, you can make an attempt to question and improve the quality of life. It’s all about the details. Being that this man can discuss deeply the word many, he shows us that details are what matter. His entries, “On many” and “On the world in which we live in” discuss the importance of word choice. By showing us how the simple altering of a word changes the profoundness, tone and sentimental reaction of the reader, he demonstrates how detail is a part of literature and for that matter, our life.
