This poem was created using the workbook, English Brushup, for English 302: Techincal Editing. The nouns in the poem are answers from the workbook. I liked the Noun + 7 alogorithm, so I wanted to use something similar. I looked up the verbs in The New American Webster Dictionary. Verbs were selected by flipping through the dictionary and selecting the first word on every twentieth page. All of the verbs are in past tense. The prepositions were selected from a preposition chart (reading left to right) in English Brushup. I created the pattern of the nouns, nouns, verbs, and prepostions:

1 2 v 3 p
1 v 2
1 2 v 3 p 4
1 2 v
3
1 v 2 p 3
1 v 2
1 v 2 p 3
1 v 2

Similar to any other modern text, I like the nonsensical storyline. I also like how some proper nouns were separated by verbs, for example, "New tried Orleans". I don't know what some of the verbs mean, but in some lines, my ignorance adds to the humor. One example is "Arnold bamboozled Schwarzenegger". Overall, I'm happy with the outcome of this alogorithm. Although it was a little time consuming, methodically creating the poem and then reading the poem for some sort of meaning was entertaining.

Several alogorithms were also applied to this text. First, I took part of a psychology paper about women and Dependant Personality Disorder and put it through the Lazarus Cut-Up. The text was cut up (4 words per strip), transgenderized (both ways) and rasta racked. I then cut up that text in the link Cut Ups Self Explained (4 columns). In the second paragraph I transgenderized (both ways) the first paragraph again, then cut up the text (3 columns).
I enjoyed my new psychology paper because of the irrelevance of the many disfigured psychology terms, in which I think the meanings of many of these words are confusing anyway. The two paragraphs are very similar, but notice that the first paragraph refers to a husband more often than the second paragraph. This happened because the first paragraph was transgenderized against my original paper that was primarily about women. Many new words were created in the two alogorithms, such as "woions", "wocated", "decisionibility", and "multicultuributed". "Bangarang" appears several times in funny situations, so Steve looked it up:

Bangarang (according to the Urban Dictionary)

1. Battle cry of the Lost Boys in the movie Hook.
2. Jamaican slang defined as a hubbub, uproar, disorder, or disturbance.
3. General exclamation meant to signify approval or amazement

This might be a cut up, but I'm assuming that bangarang is a result of rastaracking.
Some interesting phrases were also produced, such as "some symptoms of dis ya bangarang these children, depend on a wife’s else" and "woions ago". "Woions ago" sounds longer than eons ago, so woions ago might go as far back as the beginning of time.
Overall, I'm happy with my new psychology paper. The cut up words and nonsensical rastaracked tone sounds like the author of the paper came from a part of the world that used to speak English, but since they moved to the jungle, their English has transformed.

Part 3: Solitaire in English?

I was looking for a juicy story to play with, so I let the story solitaire create one for me. The generated story was really mysterious, but it didn't have a story line. I thought maybe a story line would develop from translating the solitaire story to Spanish to French to Greek to English again.

Starved for the humain contact, rôde the night. In the moment of discovery, the interruptions thinly d'? a cry their lip and their hands they upset jusqu'? in the cover the confrontation more fast by? the eye can see. Strike with the leg to the abroad, turning his body in a effort for escape. The new rich person, this I wish to be in the discretion. In to landscape sad unpeopled, this soña his pale hands, the beauty of his fingers d'? ahusamiento. It hears the quietness, separating the quietness of loneliness of quietness common hope. the lighting it discovers his confrontation. In to apretón confusion of also despair, it turns where they have been found. Glistrietai maintained between the buildings. Tandis qu' with the night, his thoughts reveal in tons a mark his colour that is wetted blood is presented sometimes to be separate to the abroad through that is upset his hands. The landscape is wide and cold and only. It reaches brought to despair to they were for but. it has dreamed this dream. Between that breaks buildings of brick that are abandoned with his windows defeats, exhaustions of their fire aherrumbrados and. the hands of fraud. Now his shade is presented in his dreams. It will say his but. The votes? Echoey continues him. A mysterious concealed void reigns in the hands of marvel. Settles papayes? a twilight in the city. The high buildings are converted the shades. This soña in a new woman with the abundance and the beauty. It so much imagines in cerebral and in aware as she is open and spontaneous. distant.

No story really develops; however, some ideas expand. For example, the translated version talks a lot more about buildings and dreams. I'm not sure these make a good story, but the structure of sentences are interesting. Some of the phrases still have the main idea, but is similar to a foreigner's tone, similar to the cut up of my psychology paper.

Below is the original:

Hungry for human contact, he prowls the night. In the instant of discovery, a thin cry breaks from her lips and her hands flutter up to cover her face quicker than the eye can see. She kicks out, twisting her body in an effort to escape. A rich, goodlooking young man wishes to be in touch. In her bleak unpeopled landscape, she dreams his pale hands, the beauty of his tapering fingers. He listens to the silence, separating the silence of solitude from the silence of shared expectation. A flicker of light discovers her face. In the grip of confusion and despair, he returns to where they met. He glides quietly among the ghostly buildings. As he slips through the night, her thoughts unfold in him. Sometimes a stain the color of wet blood seems to spread out across his restless hands. The landscape is vast and cold and lonely. He desperately reaches out for her but. she has dreamed this dream. Among the abandoned brick buildings with their shattered windows, their rusted and broken fire escapes. the hands of deception. Now her shadow appears in his dreams. She will tell his fate. Echoey voices pursue him. An eerie dark emptiness reigns over the hands of miracle. A milky twilight settles over the city. Tall buildings become ghostly shadows. He dreams a young woman of wealth and beauty. She imagines a twin as cerebral and conscious as she is open and spontaneous. She slips away.
