A student told me that Cho Seung-Hui's creative writing is on the net (link
below).  I'm not trying to be morbid by looking at this, but just trying to
see if I could have seen signs of the level of his disturbance. I don't
think I could have. Here's a short and twisted little play he wrote. The
actions are at times inexplicable (when not exaggerated), the actions are
violent, the relationships are twisted, and the name (McBeef) is disturbing,
but I cannot honestly say I would have notified the authorities if I would
have seen this in an early creative writing class (1st or 2nd undergraduate
level).

Perhaps an inappropriate topic. Perhaps an important one, or one that is
important in terms of a larger issue (trying to pick out this type of
disturbance or not being able to).

 

If Nikki Giovanni felt he was significantly disturbed on the basis of this,
I applaud her human intelligence as well as on her poetry.
