Most of the stories we read, particularly the good ones, convey some type of essential idea, philosophy, system of belief, exemplum, moral lesson or theme. Writing and Visual Imagination students: for your next narrative piece, I would like you to inject an underlying idea that you feel strongly about. If this poses a challenge for you, which it should, consider doing some research on different ideas which have worked their way into literature: existentialism, transcendentalism, phenomenology, etc. Feel free to post comments, ideas and questions here.

Does this have to be a philosophy or would Judaism do?
My personal belief on life is that if you do bad things, then somehow they will come back and get you later on. I'm not just talking about swearing or staying up past your bedtime, I mean like stealing or cheating. It could not affect you right away, but I feel it eventually will.
