Discussing abstract art has been very interesting to me, but what is more interesting is the topic of writing being abstract. I was thinking about how writing can be abstract, or even whether it could be. I think this idea of writing being abstract is a good transition from the idea of biological evolution to the evolution of stories. It seems as though not only is evolution becoming a more abstract topic, other things such as art and writing are becoming more abstract. This is seen with Walt Whitman as, at least to me, the idea of his writing being very difficult to understand only leads to me being able to draw my own conclusions about it. The more abstract a painting or writing is makes interpreting the work without the authors influence easier.
