Anywho, here's what I wrote in class. A caveat: I don't remember what I meant when I wrote this.
Transparency to the heart to the mind to the soul
Would an undershirt have blocked access to the inside? If introspection is required to become an artist- self-awareness and self realization- does this have to be focused from an internal or external veiw? Is it posssible to become completely opaque to the outside world and yest still maintain a sense of transparency into oneself? And if everyone was completely transparent, would stories be as exciting?
Part of the excitement of the story is the slow pealing back of layers to reveal somthing that was previously hidden. We look for the unexpected twist or the punch line to the story, and a joke is ruined if you muff the ending. Is transparency used as a process just for yourself, or for others?
