Timed Writing Exercise

Divide:

Divide to me firstly is a mathematical operation, although it has many other uses in the English language. I believe divide often has negative connotations, people who are divided over an idea may argue, wars happen due to division. Divisions in society often is a cause for tension. Divide and conquer is often heard, thus implying division  creates weakness. Divide can also be positive, someone may divide their lunch with their friend, thus sharing.

Zero:

Nothing, empty. Cannot be a divisor - relation to word above. If the remainder is zero the numbers (or polynomials) divide perfectly. Zero brings to mind more mathematical ideas than ideas in the English language. Countdown, when zero is reached we have blastoff!
