Journal prompt #1

Before getting to the prompt for your first journal, take a look at some of the samples.

In your journals, take some time to observe the style of the sample journals. For example, what are you noticing about some of the strategies or types of writing the authors use?




PROMPT:  There are certain routines and rituals we as human beings participate in each day of our lives. Some of these routines are considered so valuable that we label them "traditions." Yet, who determines the value? Is there ever a time where your reality clashes with a tradition? Do you think traditions, (family traditions, national traditions, community traditions, personal traditions) are celebrated or followed with purpose or is there a blindness in our obedience to certain traditions--we do it because "that's the way it's always been?" Be sure to relate your response to "Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen."

Due: Thursday
