She learned English from elementary school to the girls' middle school in Korea, all the lessons start with reciting 'hi', 'how are you?', 'I'm fine, thank you. And you?'
Ever since A was a kid, she wanted to be a con artist. Maybe she even admired some of them. The most charming kid on the block who can go into people's houses and cause the indescribable happenings, from the personal, which transmits to the universal. She likes the sound of 'c,o,n', it sounds like 'c,o,n,e.' similar enough to 'c,l,o,n,e,' to be 'c,o,n,n,'. She likes 'artist', it has 'art' in it, 'ist' is usually prescribed to the words that refer to professions that seem interesting. Lots of jargon involved here. Does the jargon create the narrative or syntax? What is more important, content or subject? What is the most efficient way to narrate what she is saying?
Ever since B was a kid, she wanted to be three cans of empty beers to be trashed, after an event at a church. Maybe she even admired some of them. Probably the ones sitting in people's houses witnessing toxic dynamics, until she learns to love the toxicity then she would not call it toxic anymore. She likes the sound of 'beer,' it sounds like 'bee' for hexagon and 'err' for someone who is involved, like, participator,' or 'editor.' She also likes how the letter 'b' is used as an acronym for many other words. Ah, all the possibilities, within the limit. Lots of codes involved here. Does the code create sequence or motive? What is more important, intent or delivery? What is the most efficient way to narrate what she is saying?
Ever since C was a kid, she wanted to be someone named Madeline. Maybe she admired some of them. Deceptively simple but confusing enough to the people who are learning this language to think of both a nice girl and a box of them at Costco. She generally likes the sound of “baked goods,” especially the one that sounds like a girl. Girls have had privileges to confuse others, by confusing themselves, which is not anyone's fault. Ah, the lightness of words, and the unbearable consequences. She likes the sound of 'ma,' and 'del' as in 'dell,' 'ine' as 'line'. “mama. dell. line”. It sounds like so many different things. Ah the infinite possibilities, within the limit. Lots of chance involved here. Does the plot create the meaning or the serendipity? What is the most efficient way to narrate what she is saying?
Ever since D was a kid, she wanted to be a weirdo. Maybe she even admired some of them. The ambiguous nature of meaning makes disillusion for things that can't be described with words. No one would ever understand what it means to you. She misspelled 'weird' as 'wierd' for the long until she realized that autocorrect was fixing every single 'wierdo' she was marking. What is the point of surveillance when there is autocorrection? She likes the sound of 'wi' that sounds like 'we' and 'wii,' both involve more than one person in their operations. She likes how 'errd' sounds like a growl. Lots of murmurs involved here. What is more important, history or interpretation? What is the most efficient way to narrate what she is saying?
The police were called to the site of a car accident. They asked a man gushing blood in pain, 'how are you?'. He said 'I'm fine, thank you. And you?'
