Cut-up assignment
The cut-up assignment was fun but in the end, none of my sentences really made sense. I can see how new combinations of words can be made from Burrough’s method of cutting different texts and putting them together but I see no way for them to make much sense when just randomly putting texts together. Here are some of the “sentences” that were made by my random cut-ups. “That’s not anic bacteria to blue whales rtable analyzers U.S. Army’s forlkswagens. Biologists have out a half-dozen. Tion is any indiomily trees since the mid.” “One approacle story; careful anatomi-dyas of lab work existing portablucial means of comparing the field-the ing them into de fact.” As you can see, they really don’t make any sense. I guess if you use your imagination, you might be able to change some of the words for them to make more sense. In this sense, I can see how this kind of assignment may inspire some creativity. I don't see it being very useful for anything though.
