URL list doc & writing prompt for Friday, 8/25


First, share the link to your URL, listed along with your name, in this document

Then, write for 12 minutes:

Think of a time in the past when you did something that you weren't embarrassed or regretful about at the time, but now feel embarrassed or regretful about looking back. What changed? Reflect on this. (If you want, you can finish your "a time you were embarrassed and shouldn't have been" writing from earlier this week instead of starting on this new prompt.)


And, if you're interested in revisiting them with closer attention, here are links to the poems I will mention in class when I introduce F. Scott Fitzgerald's essay, "The Crack-Up": "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley, and Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by William Wordsworth.


Also, forgot to share this great quotation:
“From the point of view of the ear, Virginia Woolf never wrote a bad sentence.”
