Celeste Henkelmann's Progress Report One: Ideas. Ideas. Ideas.
I started a journal today; I am finding the creative thesis the most appealing. Friday, I came up with roughly forty thought provoking ideas and I honestly can't, nor want to, narrow them down into one main thesis. Thankfully, they can be looped together, at least I think, in a novel. Most ideas came from my fascination with people:
1. Societies: reactions, trends, public opinion, economics, cultures
2. Individuals: egoism, religion, language
I plan to synthesize these questions into a Camus inspired novel- simple and intriguing. Here are some rough ideas:
1. Characters: homeless man- an anomie, strong
-I would like to conduct interviews of homeless in BR
2. Setting: oppresive society - possibly Russia - not sure time
-I am traveling to Russia this summer and may be able to include
photos
Entails: many interviews, art of writing a novel, art of photographs, cultures
It is quite ambitious, which worries me. However, I am looking forward to having an excuse to pester people with some ideas that I would have otherwise never shared.
