BLOG & ASSIGNMENTS Blog: avoid doing a book report. Go straight to the task: describing the emotional response. Examples of comments. WHO DID IT RIGHT? Personal opinion about the chapter and the death episode. ======================= ASSIGNMENT SELF REFLECTION strategy: think back about the initial reaction to a text and the summary assessment at the end. At the least, describe a two-step process: first impression; final judgment. It can be more than that, for instance,
you can begin with Sandreen, the skeptic: He died; a small person eaten by a growing city. Life will continue, how? Who cares, Somehow. The workers, as soon as their thoughts drift into dreams, gods man will fall from their imagination straight to the concrete. His wife, 7 kids, a woman who did her job, now to do what the dead man did. His children will be in pain, but not the same kind of pain of a child who lost a parent they knew. Life will continue even when yours stops. Maybe it will be the first time you wonder how everyone does, because surly you are not the only one with problems. I guess the pattern would be quotes to stay positive, I wrote them because they gave insight to the characters personality. ===================
