So, I just plugged 25 numbers into random.org, and this was the sentence I got. It's rather absurd.
Blossom coffee spasm it swell he beard Ryhmenocerous wink gray if fantastic strap mouse swift green they scarf verb link flower yucky howl orange we.

haha oh Abby you are hilarious. I love how you tied those two together. And you know Mr. Kunkle will love it because of his love for Random.org (which is probably as unexplainable as his love for the Cubs)... =D
I bet if you did a close reading on these words, you would be able to find some sort of deep meaning. I would take it upon myself to do it if I knew what Ryhmenocerous is.
I agree with winnie here, this work of literary greatness would make an amazing in class story to close read. Suggest it to Kunkle gogo!
ingsons is my word
Well, you see, the randomness of the words reflects several things.
First it reflects the turmoil of the world around us. Happy words like scarf, fantastic, and beard are all mixed up with less than pleasant words like yucky, gray, and coffee.
This also effectively reflects the mixed emotions of the author. She had no control over how the words would be placed, very similar to the rampant emotional highs and lows many teenagers suffer from today.
Still, despite the fact she knew she'd have no control over the placement of the words, she still willingly submitted them to random.org, and chose the words to submit, showing some sort of control over the things around her.
This amount of control sets her apart (for better or worse) from the aforementioned high-low teens, making this work a social commentary. (Note the cultural reference to the Ryhmenocerous)
Ironically, this work proves there is nothing completely random. The author chose specific words to put into a specific website, which put them into an order which was decided by a specific program.
A force was at work to put the words into the order they went into, and it was anything but random luck. In an alternate universe for instance, the words coffee and strap could be switched. With no evidence to prove otherwise, one can only assume that world will be destroyed tomorrow by giant hamsters on chainsaw covered seahorses. Still, that world's better off than the world which replaced link and beard. They were probably destroyed yesterday by elephants with trunks filled with killer bees and alligators with pirates in their magenta-toothed mouths.
