Why Onions?

I have reason behind my madness you know; that being onions. If you’ve ever seen “Shreck” you’d know onions have a deep symbolic meaning. “You see Donkey, ogres are like onions, we have layers” said the ugly antisocial ogre to the donkey who sounded awfully like Eddie Murphy. What our ugly antisocial friend means by that is that onions have layers, and ogres have these layers too. There’s the outside layer, thin, yellow and flakey, the part the passerby only sees. Then as you dig down deeper, further into the onion, you find the true onion, the tasty part, the flavor, the part that hides the things that make you cry. Everything in the world has layers. Some have more than others. In A.P. Euro, my job is to delve into articles, text, and books and find the true meaning of the words.

That goes beyond other people’s text too. Other stuff I’ve read by classmates and non-professional writers, like myself, often lack depth, meaning and/or style. Something could have been written by another robot it’s so plain and boring, or maybe the stuff you’re reading is unorganized and wandering like you’re going nowhere in a hurry. I hate writing like that. I know sometimes it can’t be helped, but nobody wants to read that stuff. Not teachers. Not friends. Not even you’re his/her parents would enjoy such bland content. That’s why it’s Tom with Onions. Onions are a symbol of depth, meaning and style. So whenever you read something, get it with onions.
