Monday, Monday: How Could You Leave and Not Take Me?

As always, you can think of the blog as a repository of dumping ideas and fragments of memories that get knocked loose during the daily writing/thinking/discussing. In addition to considering Bobbi's teaching demo, the morning discussion on how you processed your first draft, and your afternoon reading group, Sherrie and I would like you to focus upon this afternoon's Peer Response activity.

In regards to the Peer Response, please consider blogging on this:

What common issues, experiences, and storylines do the texts have in common? Furthermore, considering how you answer the preceding question, can you recognize and discuss how cultural influences play into these commonalities?

Good luck.

    As my partners and I worked through our Peer Response activity, I thought it was very interesting because we are three people who are at very different points in our lives. Even with this, there were some parallels that we had in terms of faith - not only from a religious standpoint, but in humanity as well. This faith wasn't explicitly stated, but I believe it could easily be tagged to each one of us. Finally, we were all from smaller towns and that type of influence definitely helped shape who we are today.

    In my group I did not see commonalities of how we got to where we are. I see common ground in where we are- same room, papers in hand- but the paths we've taken to get here are as dissimilar as the words on the pages.

    Experiences which either shaped or define who we are. In all three of our essays, parents and family come immediately to mind (as a commonality). No surprise there.

    It was amazing that there were commonalities between the 3 of us!!!!!!!! The settings for all 3 were outside (Tonya from her porch drinking her first cup of coffee in the morning and I sitting in my flower garden before the heat of the day) with Zach situated all through the Athens community. I would have no idea how culture would influence us in that way. Will have to ponder on that idea tonight.
