Very cool! I really like the idea of taking a story and changing it to sort of satirize our own priorities. The sadface smiley was a nice touch.
I’m hoping the Basque Separatists don’t get any ideas when I’m in Spain next semester.
Also, this is great! I think you inspired me to do this assignment.
Yea, me too. I think I am going to try to find a story and completely change the purpose or meaning.
I like the way Sarah has changed the happy study abroad theme to something more worrisome.
This was really well done! It’s interesting how you can condense a whole story into just a few words that can have such an impact.
Very cool, I like the added emphasis of the frowny face at the end of the poem. Just out of curiosity, what newspaper were you using?
Great way to shape the story / art out of an existing expression – perfect extension of the remix culture to physical books and literature!
Made me think of this Jonathan Safran Foer effort: http://kottke.org/10/11/tree-of-codes-by-jonathan-safran-foer
Thanks for sharing,

Well done! As Jordan said I like how you condensed the story.
