Week 6 Blog Prompt

Prompt:

Go to the excellent website, "Brevity", and read at least 3 nonfiction flash narratives. (Poke around the site a bit!) Write about one of them in terms of structure, plot, form and meaning. How do you relate as a writer to the work (or works) that you read? In your analysis of a story, does it have something like the "5 S's" we heard about on the Flash Fiction Video. we watched in class? (Setting, Situation, Sensory detail, Simile, Shift)... (Remember that "Situation" was some kind of conflict or thwarted desire, and should be hooked in very early in the narrative, and that "Shift" was some kind of change, often internal, that happens to the character.

Welcome to the Grotto written by B.J. Hollars is the first-person narrative of a father (the author) and his seven-year-old daughter dealing with the grief of losing a family member, namely the father's father-in-law and the daughter's grandpa. The story starts out in Dickeyville, WI, three weeks before the death of the father-in-law, as the two of them walk through a grotto built by a priest in the early 1900s. This is a side note, but I was aware of this grotto's existence before reading this story, and learned about it from one of my professors for an academic writing class I took last year. I just thought that was an interesting connection, especially since it's a small place that not many people know about, but I digress. The father buys a worry stone for his daughter in the gift shop at the back of the grotto, which appears later in the story a few times. In terms of structure, the piece is broken into three sections: the grotto, the father-in-law's last night of life, and the next morning. The worry stone makes an appearance in each section, serving as an anchor for both the daughter and the father in their time of grieving. Hollars also taps into the senses liberally, describing the grotto in great and accurate detail, even going into the history behind it. He also describes the setting of the father-in-law's room in great detail, mentioning personal details like the song playing at the time, the bowl of watermelon, the half-eaten bag of potato chips, the "crumb-lined knife," and more. At the end of the story, the father asks his daughter if he can borrow the worry stone, and she slips it into his hand before they get ready for the morning ahead of them. The story is full of heartwrenching imagery brought to life through Hollar's use of language. For instance, the line "All I will remember is how my daughter placed her faith in the tangible, gripping tight to the hand that could not return the grip" paints a vivid scene full of emotion, tapping into the feeling of desperately holding on to something that will soon be gone. This story made me feel a lot of emotions about my own grief and how I can possibly depict this in a narrative of my own. I loved that the worry stone was a reoccurring object that tied the sections together, as well as the choice to focus on the daughter throughout the story rather than himself. Focusing on her grief, resilience, and strength adds another layer of emotion to the story, a little girl losing her grandpa all too soon.

The Dickeyville Grotto - Dickeyville, WI (near Dubuque, Iowa)

This shrine to Catholicism and patriotism was built between 1925 and 1930 by a priest named Matthias Wernerus.  It is made of concrete covered with chunks of glass, stones, sea shells, tiles, bits of broken china, geodes and large pieces of petrified wood.  This set of photos only shows the main shrine.  There’s a lot more that I will show you in adjacent posts.

I saw this on a family vacation when I was a child and I never forgot it. I was excited to see it again, but I admit I arrived with a carload of cynicism. I am no longer religious or particularly patriotic, but I was impressed. This is a work of art, regardless of what you may think of the subject matter.

Just a part of my walk through the lovely #dickeyvillegrotto (see last post for more pics) … it’s really incredible; it must have taken this priest years to collect all of the trinkets and rocks to build this gorgeous shrine … #grotto #starbrightsadventure #dickeyville #wisconsin #bucketlistadventures #ontheroadagain #roadtrippin #rvlife #rvtravel #travelheals #rvcamping #ilovewisconsin (at Dickeyville Grotto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSUhaERHJft/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've been meaning to share some pictures of the completed altar for a while. My inspiration of course was the mother goddess and mother mary (same energy) and the Dickeyville Grotto that I visited as a child (seriously one of the most incredible places I've ever been). I used seashells from my trip to Florida, dragon's tears from my wedding, albino peacock feathers, a shattered birdbath, aquarium gravel, and of course rocks I already have.

I've had trouble deciding on what to focus on in my craft.. I mostly just make offerings to spirits and the local fae.

Dickeyville Grotto! I have been wanting to go here for years. I am glad I finally made it a point to stop during my fall trip. It was a fun place to take pictures. Specially because I love macro, color, textures, and stones of all sorts.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER CREATING A “GEOGRAPHY OF HOPE” IN THE 21ST CENTURY Miss Rosen for Feature Shoot

Our faith in modernity is guided by a belief that “science” is grounded in rational belief — when in fact, so much of what can be observed is that it merely carries out the logical consequences of irrational thought. From the atomic bomb to the Tuskegee experiment, Chernobyl to climate change, the past century is rife with horrors of modernism perpetrated on an innocent populace and planet by those who purport to be acting in our best interest, wholly disregarding the oath of Hippocrates.

It is a rather telling, albeit tragic, truth that most people refuse to acknowledge the failures of their belief — let alone act in their best interest — until it is much, much too late. It is only when the die is cast and the end is near that most will consider they have been duped by a system that exclusively profits the powerful. It is then and only then that they may begin to open their heart, seeking solace, forgiveness, and salvation for upholding a system that has devastated the planet and all the life it holds.
