Journal Prompts 12 CP

Journal 1 8/17 O 1) What is redemption? O “Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person.” -Tennessee Williams O “Seeking to forget makes exile all the longer; the secret of redemption lies in remembrance.” -Richard von Weizsaecker O 2) Discuss your perception of redemption, citing one of the quotes from above in your response. Explain why the speaker’s quote either coincides or conflicts with your image of redemption.

Pgs Kite Runner - If you had only one word to describe the motivation for Amir's actions in this part of the book, what word would you choose? Find a definition for your word, and then show examples from the text (you may want to include some of Amir's own words and actions) that demonstrate the accuracy of your word choice. Try to judge Amir by either defending or condemning his actions. Journal 2- 8/24

Journal 3 - 8/27 O After reading and annotating the narrative “Afghanistan,” analyze the selection using a SOAPST chart. O S- Speaker O O- Occasion O A- Audience O P- Purpose O S- Style O T- Tone

O “A good [short story] would take me out of myself and then stuff me back in, outsized, now, and uneasy with the fit.” - David Sedaris O “Fiction has been maligned for centuries as being "false," "untrue," yet good fiction provides more truth about the world, about life, and even about the reader, than can be found in non-fiction.” -Clark Zlotchew O Discuss your understanding of the idea both authors are trying to convey regarding short stories. Also, how could good fiction be like a mirror? Journal 4 - 9/12

Journal 5 – 10/1 O The last short story we read contained a character that made a great sacrifice to achieve his goals. O What has been your greatest sacrifice? Why do you think people sacrifice things? Is it always unselfish?
