OBJECTS THAT TELL STORIES

SELECT AN OBJECT WHICH, IN YOUR PERCEPTION, HAS A POTENTIAL FOR EVOKING ASSOCIATIONS OR CARRYING MEANINGS / MESSAGES [BY BEING EXTRAORDINARY OR AVERAGE, NEW OR OLD, NOSTALGIC / WORN OUT, NATURAL OR MANMADE, ETC.].
WRITE A TEXT OF NOT MORE THAN 500 WORDS ABOUT YOUR CHOSEN OBJECT SO THAT IT STAYS IN THE CENTRE OF YOUR NARRATIVE. TRY TO GIVE YOUR TEXT A MULTILEVEL STRUCTURE WITH
• TOPIC [SIGNALLED BY TITLE]
• SUBJECT [EXPRESSING WHAT / WHO IT IS ABOUT]
• THEME [PROBLEM / OBSERVATION]
• MESSAGE [REFLECTION].
PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY TO WRITE A JOURNALISTIC TEXT BUILT AROUND AN OBJECT IS TO TURN THE OBJECT INTO A METAPHORE / A SERIES OF METAPHORS AND BUILD IT ON THIS CONVENTION [LIKE - A DARK HOLE IN THE GROUND AS A METAPHORE OF EXPLOITED CHILDREN'S HOPELESS FUTURE].
ENCLOSE A PHOTO TO GO WITHY YOUR TEXT, NOT NECESSARITY AS AN ILLUSTRATION, BUT RATHER AS AN INDEPENDENT METAPHORIC MESSAGE CARRIE RELATED TO THE VERBAL TEXT I.E., TRY NOT TO SAY THE SAME WITH THE VISUAL BUT CREATE AN ADDED VALUE].
