now for some reading. Read pages
253-269 o Min-Zhan Lu’s Shanghai
Quartet and a selection by Peter Elbow from Everyone Can Write.
As
you read through the selections by Lu and Elbow, focus on two writing issues
and jot down a few sentences in response to these questions: (1)
What details in
these narratives make the story specific to this individual? What details separate this writer from others? What details stand out? (2)
What broader
themes emerge in these essays? That
is, what in these pieces resonates with (or is similar to) your experiences
or the experiences of someone you know?
Does the writer state these themes? Or suggest them? Eldred-University of Kentucky English-University of
