I chose to research the word 'average' because it is a word that does not draw too much attention to itself. It is not flowery or overdramatic--rather, it is just...well, average.
The word 'average' is average looking and average sounding. It reflects its meaning almost perfectly. Average. We don't think about this word too often. It's not a word that we spend time on. We call upon 'average' and use it when we think something is regular, everyday, or even boring. 'Average' is a humble word, and that's why I chose it. This word chooses to attach itself to everyday, real-life things. It is not complicated or overbearing. Rather, it is simple, and just average.
Average is the day at school when nothing good happens, but nothing bad happens either. Average is a meal you swallow without tasting. Average is a night without nightmares or sweet dreams. Average is what you get when you add up a bunch of numbers, and then divide. Average.
I look forward to learning more about this word.
