Day Seventeen / 9.30.10

Today we started with a quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald, "A writer like me must have an utter confidence, an utter faith in his star. It's an almost mystical feeling, a feeling of nothing-can-happen-to-me, nothing-can-harm-me, nothing-can-touch-me." We then journaled on our own feelings about our writing and what our insecurities and confidences are. Then we did some practice language questions based on a poem.

We then went over the Show don't Tell dialogue sections, and your homework is to complete the sheet. Finally, we read "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan, and discussed the meaning of the title.
