Getting Started....

Hello All!

Like Odysseus, we are starting on a journey....a journey that will hopefully help us all to become better writers in terms of expression and how we choose to share our ideas. That is what this blog is all about. So, without further delay, let's get started. Please share your ideas on the following:

So many of us love adventure or quest stories- in fact, when I asked you about your favorite types of literature at the beginning of the semester, action/adventure was the leading category! I want to know: why do you think this is so?

Furthermore, I want you to think about the people who join us in our own personal daily "quest"- why are these individuals so important? Why are we constantly searching for the right relationships with one another and the people around us?

Lastly, I want to know: what qualities/actions/triumphs must occur in a person's life before he or she can qualify as a hero? Don't just list them out- I want to know WHY the attributes you choose are so important or necessary.

Yes, you have several questions to answer- please answer them all with thought and elaboration. Remember, I can't read your mind, and I'm guessing your classmates can't either.

Your post is due by 4:00 pm on Friday, February 26, 2010.
