COMMON WORD STORY 15 PEOPLE WITH DIGNITY

This is a writing exercise using common words. I have collected a list of 17,000

words. From this I have chosen twenty words at random. The exercise is to write a story with
at least ten of them. I have included my story along with a translation into other words.

Here is the list:

  1. TRUISM
  2. PTARMIGAN
  3. VISOR
  4. BLATHER
  5. PEACOCK
  6. DIGNITY
  7. POPLIN
  8. HORSE
  9. BRIDAL
  10. SMELL
  11. DAUGHTER
  12. LAUGHTER
  13. PROPANE
  14. PION
  15. QUITTANCE
  16. DOGE
  17. NITHER
  18. FRUMP
  19. SECRETARIAT
  20. MUTE

Here is my story:

It is a truism that important people have dignity. The

doge in Venice like a peacock on his war horse with guilded visor,
the general in his poplin shirt with medals, the future wife in her
bridal party.
All radiate dignity in a mute way.

It is an unspoken truth that important people demand respect. The

prince in Venice like a strutting cock on with war stead with golden
helmet, the General in his military uniform shirt with medals, the
future wed woman in her bridal party
All glow with worthiness in a silent way.

Concluding Thoughts:

See my full list of 17000 words. I have tried to give a spectrum

of words that reflect the way sound changes meaning. What I mean
is that I focus on root words of a family of words. In this way, I have
a smaller number of words that represent the language. It is alot of
fun.
