Where do new ideas come from?

Ideas come from moments. From moments of great thinking, also known as imagination. Even if someone thinks for ten years about an idea the idea will form at a burst of imagination. But you also must be questioning. You have to question why something is happening. Why do we do it this way? Why don't we do it this way...BAM and you get a burst of imagination. You continue working on this idea and you develop it into a final invention. Ideas are a mix of great imagination, questioning and background knowledge.

Favorite short story

My favorite short story from the ones we read was "Lamb to the Slaughter". I loved the whole idea of the story and not getting to know why he was leaving her. My favorite part was when she hit him over the head with the lamb. The end was kind of creepy when she was giggling at the whole story. "Lamb to the slaughter" was the most interesting of the stories...
