Genius?....Nahhh!

I used to think it was this great gift "literary geniuses" have, but i'm not so sure anymore.  I sometimes teach a creative writing course, and my aspiring fiction writers frequently bring in biblical parallels, classical or Shakespearean allusions, bits of REM songs, fairy tale fragments, anything you can think of.  And neither they nor I would claim that anybody in that room is a genuis.  It's something that starts happening when a reader/writer and a sheet of paper get locked in a room together.  (Foster 85-86)

i dont think that anyone can be a literary genuis even if they wanted because one person cannot know everything about english and writing.  there are many different dialects and ways of writing and nothing ever stays the same.  there is something new every day.  everyone has a different gift too and some people just have a better way or using words to relate better to others whether it be through song, another story, or even the Bible.  there was many ways to get in touch with the senses and english just helps it all out.
