Final Take home essay

 

 Still Water

We can make our minds so like still water

that beings gather about us that they may see,

it may be, their own images,

and so live for a moment with a clearer,

perhaps even with a fiercer life

because of our quiet.

—William Butler Yeats

 

Tell me what you have learned about identity this semester.  Specifically, what do you understand about your identity now that you did not before this class? How did telling stories this semester effect this change?

 

To receive an “A” you must:

Write between 1200 and 1500 words;

Quote “Story as a Way of Knowing” (at least) once;

Quote one other published text from our class at least once.

Quote one other kind of text from the class:

–consider quoting one of your papers; a classmate’s blog post; something from your Bon Air book… I am open to many possibilities here.

 

Please use MLA in-text citation style, with a Works Cited list at the end,  and yes, you should cite our blog or the unpublished book,etc.

 

The idea of a final is that you go back and review all of the things you have studied, read, written, experienced and thought about during the semester and solidify them in your mind. Can you find connections and explain them?  That is what I am asking you to do.
