"My Way" Blog

After watching our most recent episode of This American Life, you should begin thinking about times when you did things your way, for right or wrong. Two particular segments of the "My Way" episode concern us--Joe (the teenager who doesn't believe in love) and the photographer. Do you have a set of beliefs and values that stand apart from everyone else? If so or if not, either way, what are those beliefs and values? Have they ever been challenged by the public, or any other audience? Think about how you do things your own way, and how those ways may affect those around you, whether you know it or not. OR, just write a reaction to all of the segments of the episode. Please respond in 10-15 sentences, while attempting to use ALL 6 phrases and the 2 clauses for full credit. Thank you!

"Gulleywasher" Blog

After reading Jonathan Raban's "Gulleywasher", please find two lines from the memoir that resonate with or appeal to you and to your 5 senses. Post them on the blog. You can list them as #1 and #2, or merely write them in quotations--with proper, MLA citation. Then write a short passage--5 to 7 lines--about why they appeal to you. Do they remind you of anything? A story, perhaps? An experience? Enjoy the story, and explore your story.

**If someone has posted the sections of the story before you, then you must find new ones for credit**

"Two Wars" Response

After watching This American Life's "Two Wars" episode, please think about whether or not you can empathize with any of the people from the documentary in any way. Whether you can or cannot, please consider a little "war" that you have fought during your life--at any stage--and tell that story. You must use all 5 phrases in your writing (for full credit), and you must write at least 10-15 sentences. Please write your initials at the bottom of your entry. Thank you!

**Try to use both an adjective and an adverb clause in your entry as well**
