We discussed Stanton's essay "Laundry" as a way to get some ideas about what is expected for essays 3&4. The assignment sheet is posted at the bottom of this page - above the syllabus, calender + assignment sheet for Essays 1& 2. We will discuss the specifics in class on Thursday. As you read through - you will notice that this assignment requires you to write a segmented essay. You will also notice that the essays we are reading as "example" are broken into segments. In class, we will discuss how the reader's participation in figuring out relationships between the segments contributes to the essays' meanings.
In class discussion of Stanton we noted how her essay included detailed description & "reporting" concerning the object in her essay, and that she used this discussion as a vehicle for telling a more "human" story about her understanding of "the way the world is." You also did some writing to look for patterns in your relationships to "things."
In class Thursday you will continue to brainstorm, write into your ideas for essays 3 & 4.

Blog 14: Write about a photograph; this does not need to be a complete piece, just write, maybe ask some questions about what was going on, or what happened before or since to the people in the photo - or to the place or things ; bring several photos to class.
