So, what's it gonna be???

Hey all...As we talked about in class, the move we are going to make next is to do some radical revisions of your narratives. Just to review: I want you to choose one paragraph in the middle of your narrative that you find interesting, engaging, or that you simply like. I want you to use that paragraph as the first paragraph of a "new" narrative. That is, instead of having an introductory paragraph, the paragraph you choose will be your first paragraph.

I want you to resist editing the paragraph to make is sound more like an introduction. It's a bonus if your reader does not understand the whole context. Remember, we are starting your narrative from a different point of departure. You should have ~2 pages of text written for Tuesday's class.

In the meantime, post the paragraph you chose here as a comment to this entry. I look forward to seeing what you chose!
