Consistently, correctly, and creatively incorporate the literary devices common to the assigned form/genre/author.

Your submission should be at least 400 words. See the prompt for format specifications.

 

To achieve an excellent score on this Writing Activity, you must:

Write a short manifesto of your own in the style of the Modernist Manifesto protesting something that is happening in modern society.  Remember, a protest is different from a petition — you are not trying to persuade someone to take action — instead, you are speaking out against something and describing why it should stop. The idea here is to imitate the style and visuals of vorticists — to be as anti-establishment with format, layout, and word choice as possible.

 

Important: The assignment will be graded chiefly on the visual presentation. Use different styles of fonts, different font sizes, different directions of font, etc. and use language in a creative way to protest a specific concept relevant either to the early 20th century or one relevant to our own time period. You can use images, WordArt, or anything that replicates the anti-establishment styles and language of the   Modernist Manifesto. The more this protest breaks the rules of format and consistency, the better. Be bold in the different sizes and styles of font — don’t make them just a little different — make them very different.
