Analysis

Hi everyone! The Lindsay Lohan link is at the bottom of the blog, in case you want to look at it again sometime this weekend. We'll be analyzing it in relation to the texts that we worked on Wednesday and what we read for Monday.

Also, you may want to consider this quote from Patricia Hampl after you read her text: "Memoir is not what happened (if we’re lucky, that’s the best journalism). It is what has happened over time, in the mind, in the life as it attends to these tantalizing, dismaying, broken bits of life history. Such personal writing is, as the essay is, ‘an attempt.’ It is a try at the truth. The truth of a self in the world."

Hi class!

I’m excited that we can explore our online identities together, as I think the web is a vital aspect of communication. As we work through our readings, remember to pick out things that strike you as odd, funny, interesting, confusing, angering, or something you just really enjoyed or connected with. Your blog is your own personal space to work out these observations and turn them into analyses. Remember to maintain appropriate conduct and language in your site and your peers’ sites as you are writing. Good luck, and I look forward to reading your work!!
