The four letter word projects are writing in a different way. While the word is written, there are hidden messages to be discovered in the images. There is a general argument, but one can view that argument differently than another. Perhaps the four letter word projects are a sense of "unofficial writing," hiding a written message in the different pictures. They say that a picture says a thousand words, but it is our job to find the messages in the pictures.
While there isn't a written form of writing on the visuals, there is a message in each picture. The argument itself can be viewed as a form of writing. Even though one can't actually read the story word for word, the story is depicted through visual. Therefore, this is "unofficial writing." But, is this writing real?
Thank you for your intelligent, thoughtful post! I really like the straight-forward approach you take when writing. I need to learn to follow your lead and use a little less fluff. Have you considered the definition of "unofficial writing" versus something that just isn't writing at all? You began to explain, but I think that you could make a stronger argument. Just something to consider. Nice post!
