04.11.11: UPDATE

WRITING: Write a 1-page, single-space anecdote of a mundane or common-place event that occurred during the past week of your life. In an effort to make this event interesting, though, develop your character (i.e. the "I" of your essay) in such manner that you create a theatrical or dramatic persona by highlighting a particular idiosyncrasy, personality tic, or peculiar aspects of yourself.

Additionally, you also will need to write a 1-page, single-spaced response to a particular image, phrase, or poem (or 2 poems if you're engaging in a
relevant comparative analysis) from Saturday's reading. Responses will be due Friday and will be worth 5 points.

READING: For next class session, please read pages 97-108 in Telling True Tales, as well as pages 1-8 in Best American Essays.
