Personal reflection

The world outside of creative and informative essays has always been a struggle for me, and the introduction to the topic of Absurd Fiction on top of delving out of where I strive, amplified these difficulties for me. I have always struggled with comprehension, which is my own burden to bear, and with a theme as abstract as that of Absurd Fiction, although fascinating, proved to be a challenge.
Absurd Fiction is indeed a very bleak concept as it open-ended and the questions provoked by it remain unanswerable in certainty. With absurdist authors such as that of Albert Camus, who believes that concepts such as religion are nothing more than philosophical suicide, and that life is meaningless, and the only true answer to the question of “What is the purpose?” is suicide, it is clear to see how such a theme is not only controversial, but also a difficult concept to be able to break down.
Additionally, when it comes to other absurdist authors such as Beckett, Kafka, or Albee, they provide their audiences with societal issues and really make them think what message they are trying to portray, and even make them try to pose solutions. In pieces such as that of “The Plague”, it really demonstrates human nature and proves to the audience that even through an epidemic, we have no absolute clarity as to our purpose in life, proving out existence to be absurd.
Not only when it comes to absurd fiction, but when it comes to both argumentative and rhetorical essays, a lot of not only research goes into creating them, but analyzing the intended interpretation of what was being portrayed. When it comes to creative writing, it mostly consists of opinion and personal interpretation. The difference in these formats personally made me try to have to expand my writing and composition skills.
