thank you so much for this! it's the reason why I can not take Obama as the prez. all those poor blacks, none of them can spell or read. You're right, Obama should not be prez, can't take those people's opinions seriously, I'm sure most of them can't spell anecdote -- or know what one is! Here's to spelling tests for jobs, home ownership, welfare, voting, right to free speech, etc., etc. YOU FUCKIN' NAZI ELITIST SCUMBAG!!!

To bad you don't know what a semite is. You have been conditioned by the zionist controled media, education system and scum like Glass to believe it meens jew. Yet, most jews in the USA today have no roots to this part of the world. Moreoever, most are not jews at all, they are Talmudic elitists. When you have nothing else to do try looking up the Noahide Laws and see what your semites really think of goy. If you're not sick yet read the Talmud. It's every bit as bad as jews claim the Quran is.

That is to say, they frame the content for themselves. It is up to the interpreter to appreciate art by articulating an appreciation of the art and not by having a ready made appreciation dictated to them. After reading your comment it is not clear that you understand the criticism being put forth.

Inserting questions serves to steer the audience's interpretation. That isn't an artist endeavour. A novelist for instance, doesn't stop in mid story to comment on the development of the story. That is the task of the reader. Art is always a relationship between the artist and the interpreter. It is the task of the interpreter to make sense of the content themselves.

When its reduced to a simple formula, then yes, form trumps content. Take the example Ira gives, 'there is a quiet house' rather dull. However, when inserted into the formula/framework it may become interesting. The interest is a reflection of the framework and not the quiet house. No one suggested the content changes, its just made irrelevant. That said, no one took issue with Ira's storytelling but rather the 'moment of reflection', which is a device to manipulate interpretation. continued

Syntax over content? Kinda hackish
