Intro to Writing

Welcome to Western and welcome to Writing 101!

I am looking forward to an exciting new semester. Please feel free to contact me on the blog, or by email, or by cell phone. I will provide all contacts. Please check the blog frequently for homework assignments and other information you may need in this course.

What a great class this morning! Lively discussion makes time fly and also makes it easier when it comes time to write your papers.
OK, so if you are brave enough to put your thoughts online rather than on paper -- and you certainly don't have to "blog" yet if you don't want to -- look through "Girl" and find passages where she shows resistance to her mother's instructions/orders -- are they orders or instructions?
And then please write on paper, so I can collect them, your ideas on what kind of a woman the "girl's" mother wants her to become -- based on the five suggestions I gave you. If you have a different idea of what she is to become, please feel free to write on that.

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas on Friday!

  1. Professor DeMerell- Would you consider having traditional benna music playing in class as we discuss "Girl"? It may encourage subjective thinking into objective thought and discourse. Thanks for your consideration.
