THE INDIVIDUAL STATEMENTS 

"It's no one and no place, but it's not nothing"

"This could be describing the emotion that comes with hypertext since it's something that can't be visually described."

"This is probably just a fancy way of saying it's 'indescribable'. Hypertext is such a strange medium that it doesn't fall under one definition easily."

"You can't 'see' hypertext, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. It isn't something with a tangible quality to it. It only exists as something invisible to us."

"When looking at something it may seem empty with meaning but it can not be nothing. A thought is still a thought no matter what the reader makes of it. "

PIECING IT TOGETHER 

It's no one and no place, but it's not nothing. This could be describing the emotion that comes with hypertext since it's something that can't be visually described.  It isn't something with a tangible quality to it. It only exists as something invisible to us. You can't 'see' hypertext, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. This is probably just a fancy way of saying it's 'indescribable'. Hypertext is such a strange medium that it doesn't fall under one definition easily. When looking at something it may seem empty with meaning but it can not be nothing. A thought is still a thought no matter what the reader makes of it. 

ADDITION

It's no one and no place, but it's not nothing. While it is interestingly phrased, this could be describing the emotion that comes with hypertext since it's something that can't be visually described.  It isn't something with a tangible quality to it. It only exists as something invisible to us. While you may not be able to 'see' hypertext, that doesn't mean it isn't there. This is probably just a fancy way of saying it's 'indescribable'. Hypertext is such a strange medium that it doesn't fall under one definition easily. Yet, though it may not fall under one single definition, it still has meaning. When looking at something it may seem empty with meaning, but it can not be nothing. A thought is still a thought no matter what the reader makes of it. 

FINISHED PARAGRAPH

It's no one and no place, but it's not nothing. While it is interestingly phrased, this could be describing the emotion that comes with hypertext since it's something that can't be visually described.  It isn't something with a tangible quality to it. It only exists as something invisible to us. While you may not be able to 'see' hypertext, that doesn't mean it isn't there. This is probably just a fancy way of saying it's 'indescribable'. Hypertext is such a strange medium that it doesn't fall under one definition easily. Yet, though it may not fall under one single definition, it still has meaning. When looking at something it may seem empty with meaning, but it can not be nothing. A thought is still a thought no matter what the reader makes of it. 

Rejected

In "Hubris at Zunzal" by Robert Hass, I think the rejection occurs in the first couple of lines where he's describing the sunset and the water. Before he can finish establishing the imagery of the setting, he switches the subject to the imagery of language, leaving where he is as an unfinished thought. After briefly discussing the imagery of language, he then goes right into the story of wading with coconut milk and rum, and dumping it into the water. The reader never figures out where he is, or why he's there. He never fully completes that image, but instead, leaves the reader to wonder, maybe guess as to his whereabouts.

SAVE

This is my four letter word project. I did it this weekend, but I'm not sure if I did it right, and I'm also not sure if I am allowed to promote the Invisible Children after it's done. My focus for this project is on the war in Uganda, which is on its 25th year this year, and the child soldiers that are being forced to fight and kill by Joseph Kony, a rebel leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). I hope everyone enjoys it, and if anyone would like more information, they can visit Invisible Children to learn more about it.

The argument that I tried to express to viewers with this project is exactly my word. Save. Every day children are being kidnapped from their homes, murdered, and forced to commit brutal acts. A large amount of the world is still unaware of this atrocity, and those that know about it may find themselves thinking, "That's so sad, but what can I, an average human being, do?". The answer is everything. Because of the "average" human beings in the world, a bill has been passed to stop the war, save the children, and find Joseph Kony. This unity has helped save hundreds of children, as well as helped to share their stories. These "average" human beings saved lives, and they did it by writing, by campaigning, by signing, standing, sharing, spreading, and simply helping to make others aware of what is going on. Anyone and everyone possesses the ability to help save these children. All one needs to do is commit to it.

DISCLAIMER: This video displays some graphic images.

I'm not sure

If I'm allowed to use some of the images I'm using. I was told by one of my friends that if the viewers don't react it didn't reach them at all. I was told I made a clear argument, which is pretty swanky, and I'm just putting the finishing touches on it now. I just need to remember to give it a disclaimer.

Life thrives in six word stories.

So I stumbled upon an old list I had made of my favorite six word stories, and when I remembered that we wrote our own for class, I figured I could put them up for my proud 7 followers to see:

1. For sale: Baby shoes, never used.
2. Dinosaurs return. Want their oil back.
3. Blind man can see past disability.
4. Question asked. Negative reply. Ring returned.
5. Narcissist falls for clone. True love.
6. Things rolled: My r's, her eyes.
7. War over. Back home. Nightmares begin.
8. He read his obituary with confusion.
9. Corpse parts missing. Doctor buys yacht.
10. The baby's blood type? Human, mostly.
11. Emily's letters from Iraq stopped coming.

These are just a few really good ones that I found. I like them because their emotions are all different. Six words can tell so much more than one may think they can, and I guess that's the beauty of language. So much can be said in so little, and only a few words can stick with someone forever. Some of these I read my freshman year in high school, and still never forgot them. It's about the impact that they make, whether it be humorous or serious. It's said that Hemmingway considered his six word story (#1) to be his greatest work. I can believe it.
