Absolutely loved your blog comments from last Friday. Keep up the good work! This week's question is below. Please respond to two of your classmates by the next class (25-50 words). Write about something (150-200 words) that annoys, frightens, or even crazes you and others. Your subject could be a natural phenomenon, such as the one Didion describes, or something more Vegas associated -- we have bad winds, scorching heat, floods or something else: bumper-to-bumper traffic at rush hour, long lines at the department of motor vehicles or another government agency, lengthy and complicated voice-mail menus that end up in busy signals, parking at CSN. You may use examples from your own experience and observation, from experiences you have read or heard about, or, like Didion, from both sources. How did you learn to read? How did you learn to write? Do you share any experiences with Francine Prose? How do you feel about reading and writing now? (Please answer in complete, grammatically correct sentences -- approx 100 - 200 words; it's OK to go over.) By the next class, please respond to two of your classmates in 25 - 50 words. Thanks! |
