Applying this new reading, course lectures and course readings, please answer the following questions in full sentences. Quote and cite as needed.
1. Look at the first pages of your assigned reading. Choose a section of text (at least 20 lines). Break the section into single sentences as Verlyn Klinkenborg does. Next, use either “Me vs. Animals” or “Infinity”, and again choose a section of text (at least 20 lines). Tell me your observations. How does your assigned author and Percy/Gay write differently? (3-5 observation sentences.)
2. Choose a word in your assigned text. Tell me the difference between the connotations and the denotations in how the author uses this word. (2-4 sentences.)
3. Choose an episode from “Me vs. Animals”. How does it use the same elements of storytelling that we’ve discussed for fiction? (2-4 sentences.)
4. Look at your assigned reading. Review the “Better Creative Non-Fiction” Twitter thread from Week 9. Critique your assigned reading. How does it follow (or not) the recommendations? (4-6 sentences.)
