Brandon,
I did the same thing when I started looking for a story fragment- I looked at the last time I wrote. I found a vocab story from seventh or eight grade that I had liked at the time, and I took about four and a half sentences from it. However, I already had an idea, and that made expanding my fragment a lot easier.
Mitchell,
If I had to, or rather could, choose, I think I would choose the Red. Both world have pain, both have death, and neither is guaranteed to be more 'real' than another. If I stayed here, I'd die just like everyone, eventually. If I left, I might be able to help people, whereas here, all I could do is make someone feel better. I want life to be worth more than a quest for sensory enjoyment. Whether or not it is, i'm sure that I'm not achieving anything great inside the matrix. might as well see the outside.
Kyle:
After i read your blog, two possible instances of "form without meaning" came to mind. First, in 1984 (George Orwell), the people don't have enough words to choose a form- there's only one was to express one idea. They can never say everything they mean.
Also, computers. Computers can't tell if the printer it's connected to is scared or tired or lonely. Computers don't have feelings, so there's no meaning behind any content. There are only facts and instructions.
