Im writing a thriller for my 4 Unit major work.

But first i have to write a proposal.
I have to outline my intention in creating the work, as well as its purpose.

Whats the difference between my intentions and its purpose?
Bulls**t accepted :D.

so far im thinking

intention - to entertain
and for it to be realistic

purpose - to entertain
- to bring across a range of values/morals

what else?

intention and purpose difference is a pain in the ass
i studied that in philosophy classes :banghead:

intention = what you want it to do
purpose = what it should do

Everyone thinks that when I tell them and no, I am not using human fat (Olive oil actually).

Smaller scale ATM. We are in 6 shops in texas and we are working on getting into a a fairly big chain store. Gradually getting bigger and we are getting more buisness every day.

No i was thinking more about explosives making than soap :p
but unfortunantly soap making has little to do with explosives
you do however use lots of nitrates/potassium dont you?

Try thinking "out of the box". Try to use the terms in another context. It will help.

e.g. Your assignment is to commit a crime.

My intention is to rob a bank

The purpose is to get enough money to buy fast cars, party like crazy, score fast women and attempt to live a very decadent "rapstar" life. I will do all of this for the purposes of socioligical research of course... submitting my data to the University of East Miami... not because I'm a lazy bum ;-)
