Your personal narrative is due on Wednesday. Your Memory Bank, your Self-Portrait Box, your personal Timeline all contain wonderful possibilities for your narrative. Be deliberate in the "memory" you choose. If the memory is significant to you, you can make it significant to your audience. Family stories are also possibilities, because they are part of your cultural and familial experience as well. Remember to start your story "in medias res." It should be a minimum of 3 pages, 12pt type, double-spaced.

After you have written a draft and before its due date on Wednesday, look for places where you can employ "brushstrokes." Do not "force" them or use too many, but look for places where combining sentences will add variety to the flavor of your writing.

If you have not yet posted a comment for Wednesday's (Oct. 10th) blog, please do so at the end of Wednesday's blog. Read everyone's posting before posting your own.

Here's a link to Mychall Bell update. He's back in jail again!

"Subpoena him [Walter Reed]!" I like that. Although I can't believe he's back in jail (!) it still looks like people have a good attitude.

Here's a timeline from CNN if anyone wants to look at it.
