4 thoughts on “Emotion”
My level 1 students after one semester are now fluent with the basic emotions in L2: “happy, sad, angry, nervous, afraid.” I want to add “astonished/surprised” and I think the foundation will be set. These basic emotions words go SO FAR in stories because they are so basic and give the actors something really real to bite into.
Couldn’t agree more. Even if we have flying purple elephants or whatever, those elephants still need to feel sad when they aren’t home, and happy when they get there.
Thomas Pynchon, in the intro to Slow Learner, quotes Spike Jones, Jr. on Jones Sr.’s surreal approach to music and musical arragenemnts:
“My father understood something really important: if you are going to replace a C-sharp with a gunshot, it had better be a C-sharp gunshot.”
…even if we have flying purple elephants or whatever, those elephants still need to feel sad when they aren’t home, and happy when they get there….
