January 26, 2010

Updated: There is now a copy of Sin and Syntax on reserve at the library under the name "Brian Dickson." You can check it out for two hours at a time.

We went to the Writing Lab today to go over proper formating for your essays. If you have any trouble with this in the future, ask Devin or anyone else in the lab for help!

Please continue to bring your Sin and Syntax books to the next classes, as our dicussion of nouns will cover several classes.

Links to the readings for next time (in case you still don't have your Reader for Writers books). Please note we're reading TWO different essays about moths:

"The Death of a Moth" by Annie Dillard
I can't find a link to the full essay, but here is a link to an excerpt: Click here
You will need to read the full text before class, however. Perhaps ask a classmate to photocopy their book (it's only 3 pages).

I also found a weird home movie version of it:

"Death of the Moth" by Virginia Woolfe

Journal Prompt #3: Dreams


Think of a particularly vivid dream that you've had--the more recent the better. Write it down using as much detail as possible. Think about using strong nouns as well as lots of sensory details (what it looks like, smells like, sounds like, feels like, tastes like). Try to bring it to life and make it as vivid as it was when you dreamed it.
