Is it a snake that ate an elephant, or just a hat?
In a snake, due to how it is seen. Audiences wouldnt be to entertained when trying to her a story about a hat unless their is a actually a good amount of interesting background about it. Such as a celebrity promoting the hat, etc. When you hear something about a snake someone automatically becomes interested since its a interesting or scary animal. Now to relate it to the snake swallowing the elephant, the audience finds it much more interesting because of the multiple questions or thoughts that would pop up into their brain. Such as, "how can it swallow a elephant whole?" or "Wow thats amazing!" etc. The hat is just a lifeless factuality because its just a everyday thing you can see. Images can be perceived or heard differently by adding more information. In this case, the information is the yeast to the bread.

I like how you interpret the elephant eating snake as the more interesting story because of the "interesting background". I like how you go back to the example of the two breads. Overall good post, have a good day.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that you mentioned that it is practically impossible for a snake to swallow an elephant whole, and that makes the story. You also pointed out that the dullness of the hat makes the readers stray away from it.
ReplyDeleteI like how you bring up the fact that a story about a hat would bring no attention to the listener. The two different story's have very different feels to them. Valid point on bringing up the multiple questions that would surface because of the story of the snake eating the elephant.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that the snake story was the more interesting story, but also stated that the hat could also be an intersting story if there was more background to it. For example how you said the hat could've been more exciting if a celebrity was endorsing it.
